The FMA Challenge models are example TUFLOW models submitted by BMT WBM for the Floodplain Management Association 2-Dimensional Model Challenges, 2012. <br>
This Wiki page assumes an intermediate to advanced user level. If you haven't already completed FMA Challenge 1, please see thisthe <u>[[FMA Challenge 1 (1D-2D linked)|FMA Challenge 1]]</u> page.
 
In thisThis challenge, model investigates a tidally influenced floodplain and riverine system will be explored along the Californian Coast. More information is available in the document '''"FMA Challenge 2 Documention.TUFLOW.docx"''' that is provided withing the ZIP file download.

This model specifically shows:
*Tidal influences on floodplains and riverine systems;
*Variation in results due to 2D cell resolution and whether or not the model should contain a 1D component;
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
*The differences between two different 2D solvers, TUFLOW classic and TUFLOW GPU.<br>
 
Notably, aA key investigation of this FMA Challange is the performance of the differing 2D solution methods (CPU and GPU) in representing measured flood levels during a historical event.
