Introduction

If you haven't already completed FMA Challenge 1, please see this FMA Challenge 1 page. This page is for TUFLOW users of intermediate to advanced ability.

In this challenge, a tidally influenced floodplain and riverine system will be explored along the California Coast. More information is available in the "tidal-description.docx" in the ZIP compressed file provided.


From this challenge, it is expected the user will develop their skills in:

  • Understanding tidal influences on floodplains and riverine systems,
  • Influence of cell resolution on results and whether or not the model should contain a 1D component;
  • Using a looped batch file to run through scenarios;
  • Understanding comparisons between three different 2D solvers. These include TUFLOW classic, TUFLOW GPU and TUFLOW FV.

Data for this model is provided via ZIP compressed file posted on the internet/FTP for download.

Information to Modelers

Assignment of all parameters for this analysis are at the discretion of the modeler. A high resolution aerial image is provided so that land cover details can be inspected. Information on the problem definition can be found on FMA_Challenge_Models/FMA_Scenario2/FMA_Challenge_Model_Introductions.


Relevant Files

It is up to the modeler's discretion to determine what GIS package to use, what text editor to use, and how to run their models (batch mode or within the text editor).All relevant files can be found on FMA_Challenge_Models/FMA_Scenario2/
