Tutorial M10 005 Results QGIS TUFLOW Viewer V2
Introduction
QGIS is used to view the water using Non-Newtonian fluids using TUFLOW Viewer V2. 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 Map Outputs results, either:
- Within the QGIS Browser Panel drag the following layer into the QGIS workspace, or
- Module_10\TUFLOW\results\M10_5m_005.xmdf > loads the map output mesh results
- In File Explorer, navigate to the file above and drag and drop it into the QGIS workspace.
- In the Layers panel, select M10_5m_005. Then in the Layer Styling panel, select the 'Water Level/Maximums' map output type in the 'Datasets' tab. Inspect the difference in water levels between M10_5m_004 and M10_5m_005:
- Click on the 'TUFLOW Viewer Plot Window'
icon. The plot widget will open.
- Use the Cross Section Plot tool to see the cross section of the water level and bed level at 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 documentation.
