Introduction

If you haven't already completed FMA Challenge 1, please see this FMA Challenge 1 page. This page is for TUFLOW users of intermediate to advanced ability.

In this challenge, a tidally influenced floodplain and riverine system will be explored along the California Coast. More information is available in the "tidal-description.docx" in the ZIP compressed file provided.


From this challenge, it is expected the user will develop their skills in:

  • Understanding tidal influences on floodplains and riverine systems,
  • Influence of cell resolution on results and whether or not the model should contain a 1D component;
  • Using a looped batch file to run through scenarios;
  • Understanding comparisons between three different 2D solvers. These include TUFLOW classic, TUFLOW GPU and TUFLOW FV.

Data for this model is provided via ZIP compressed file posted on the internet/FTP for download.
