Introduction

The example models have been developed to demonstrate the most common TUFLOW model design features and applications. This dataset is useful for experienced modellers wishing to further develop their skills, or looking for model configuration examples. Although the models are based on the TUFLOW tutorial model dataset, new users are encouraged to familiarise themselves with TUFLOW through the tutorials page before using this dataset (TUFLOW Tutorial Models). Unlike the tutorials this dataset does not include step-by-step instructions / documentation. Users of this dataset are expected to have a basic knowledge TUFLOW, and have suitable skills to open the model files by referencing the TUFLOW Control File (TCF) referenced in the feature catalogue list below.

Example Model Data

The model data is available for download from the TUFLOW website. QGIS files: https://downloads.tuflow.com/TUFLOW/Wiki_Example_Models/Example_Model_Dataset_2020-10-AC.zip
The download dataset only includes model input files to keep the file download to a manageable size. The models can be run to create simulation check and result files. Batch files (*.bat) for each of the example subcategories has been provided. Additional information on how to use and update batch files to execute multiple simulations is available here: Run TUFLOW From a Batch-file.
