Tutorial M10 005 Results QGIS update V2 draft
Introduction
QGIS is used to view the water using Non-Newtonian fluids using TUFLOW Viewer 2. The results are compared to Newtonian fluids from Part 4. For viewing of the 2D map results, see Module 1.
Method
Inspect water levels of the non-Newtownian outputs:
- Open the TUFLOW Viewer.
- Select File > Load Results. Navigate to the Module_10\TUFLOW\runs and open both M10_5m_004.tcf and M10_5m_005.tcf.
- Select the 'Water Level' map output type in the Result Type panel and toggle on 'Maximum'. Inspect the difference in water levels between M10_5m_004 and M10_5m_005:
- Use the Plot Cross Section tool to see the cross section of the water level and bed level at the the edge of the flood extent.
- Compare the M10_5m_004 and M10_5m_005 results. The curvature of water level in M10_5m_005 demonstrates the Non-Newtonian fluid qualities. The viscosity of the fluid has changed, becoming more solid, due to the shear force as the fluid moves down the catchment:
Conclusion
- The water level outputs of the Non-Newtonian fluid were inspected and compared to a Newtonian fluid from Part 4.
- For further functionality, see TUFLOW Viewer 2 documentation.
