TUFLOW 1D Flood Modeller Connectivity: Difference between revisions

Flood Modeller and ESTRY (TUFLOW 1D) models can be dynamically coupled to enable a bi-directional connection between the two software using either a X1DH link or a X1DQ link. The linkslinkage take place when an ESTRY node and Flood Modeller node are snapped together. Where an ESTRY channel is also attached flow is transferred at this interface. When an ESTRY channel is not connecting, an X-connector is required to connect the snapped ESTRY/Flood Modeller node to the ESTRY channel. The dynamic coupling allows full integrated catchment modelling with open channels being represented in Flood Modeller, Pipe networks being modelled in TUFLOW 1DESTRY and the urban surface and floodplain being modelled in TUFLOW 2D. From Flood Modeller 4.5, there is also the capability to run linked Flood Modeller-ESTRY models with TUFLOW HPC. This allows models to be run on multiple processors and on GPU cards for significant speed gains for the integrated catchment model. Further details can be found in the following [[Flood_Modeller-TUFLOW_Benchmarking|page]].
