The methods used to estimate soils infiltration in TUFLOW have been based on the findings of this thesis. The research undertaken looks at the influence of losses on 2D hydrodynamic flood modelling applications. The main objectives were to: <br>
The soil infiltration methods in TUFLOW are based on the thesis written for this Masters study.
* Investigate depression storage inherent in digital topographic data and its influence on modelled losses;
* Assess the influence that application of loss models to the ground surface rather than the rainfall hyetograph can have on surface runoff;
* Assess the influence that varying soil types have on surface runoff; and
* Assess the influence that ponding depth has on infiltration, and the subsequent affect on surface runoff.
