Flood Modeller-TUFLOW Linking

Introduction

TUFLOW can link with a range of one-dimensional modelling software, including the Flood Modeller hydraulic modelling software which is produced by Jacobs (Flood Modeller Pro). Flood Modeller is a software package which is primarily used in the UK for the modelling of river channels and their structures.

TUFLOW can be linked to Flood Modeller in a couple of ways. The first is to connect the Flood Modeller 1D representation of the open river channel to a TUFLOW 2D representation of the floodplain. This allows dynamic coupled 1D-2D modelling of the river and it's floodplain with bi-directional flow. TUFLOW 1D elements can be used on the 2D representation of the floodplain.

The second approach is to connect Flood Modeller to the TUFLOW 1D engine. This 1D-1D connection allows TUFLOW 1D representations of river channels or pipe networks to drain to the 1D Flood Modeller domain, or the Flood Modeller 1D domain to drain into a TUFLOW 1D representation of the downstream network. This allows a representation of integrated urban catchment modelling
