Introduction

The ?this wording right? FV mesh and the FV 2d_mat layer are supplied and inspected. The downstream culvert is converted into TUFLOW FV format, using supplied files. Upstream and downstream boundaries are created to define the TUFLOW FV boundary.

Review Supplied TUFLOW FV Input Files

Navigate to the TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_02\Tutorial_Data folder.

• Copy Stream_Mesh.2dm into the Modelling\TUFLOWFV\model\geo folder.
• Copy TC02_culvert_dbase_001.csv into the Modelling\TUFLOWFV\model\csv folder.
• Copy the following GIS layers into the Modelling\TUFLOWFV\model\gis folder:

• 2d_ns_TC02_culverts_001_L
• 2d_ns_TC02_weir_001_L
• 2d_mat_TC02_FV_001_R

TUFLOW FV Mesh

A TUFLOW CATCH hydrology simulation requires a TUFLOW FV mesh. explain why the mesh is in the waterway

1. Load the Stream_Mesh.2dm from the Modelling\TUFLOWFV\model\geo folder into QGIS.
2. In the QGIS Layers panel, right click on Stream_Mesh and select 'Properties...'. Update the symbology to view the mesh rendering:

   • In 'Symbology', in the 'Contours' tab, set the color ramp to 'Blues'.
   • In the 'Rendering' tab, tick on 'Native Mesh Rendering'.
   • Click 'Apply', then 'OK'.

3. Inspect the mesh. In particular, zoom into the eddies to view the ?triangulation?.
   
   
   

TUFLOW FV Materials

A materials GIS file is used to define the landuse within the TUFLOW FV mesh.
