Introduction

QGIS is used to create, import and view input data.

TUFLOW Project Re-Configuration

Re-configure the TUFLOW project to use and save empty files to the correct folder:

  1. Go to Plugins > TUFLOW > Editing > Configure / Create TUFLOW Project.
  2. Change the folder which contains TUFLOW to the Module_04 folder. This is the only change required, the model folder structure and template empty files are supplied from previous model.
    Note: The 'results' and 'check' folder get automatically created when the TUFLOW model is run.
  3. Click 'OK' and save the QGIS workspace by selecting Project > Save As.

  4. Set the QGIS workspace projection to EPSG:32760, see Set the Projection.


Method

Set up the GeoPackage Database:

  1. Navigate to the Module_04\TUFLOW\model\gis folder. Save a copy of M02_001.gpkg as M04_001.gpkg.
  2. Within the QGIS Browser Panel, right click on 'Favorites' and select 'Add a Directory...'.
  3. Navigate to the Module_04 folder and select it.

Within the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to the Module_04\Tutorial_Data folder. Drag and drop the following layers into the M04_001.gpkg:

  • 2d_lfcsh_M04_bridge_001_L
  • 2d_po_M04_001_L
  • 2d_po_M04_001_P
  • 2d_zsh_M02_cut_002_R

Investigate the supplied files:

  1. Open the files, either:
    • Within the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to M04_001.gpkg and double click the layers, or
    • In File Explorer, drag and drop the M04_001.gpkg into the QGIS workspace and select the layers (hold Ctrl to select multiple).
  2. Use the ‘Apply TUFLOW Styles to Open Layers’.
  3. The 2d_zsh file cuts through the road embankment, see Module 2 for more information.
  4. The 2d_lfcsh represents the bridge in 2D, it has layers of varying blockage and form loss for piers, bridge deck and railings. The layers of the bridge structure are defined as:

    • Layer 1: Beneath the bridge deck.
    • Layer 2: The bridge deck.
    • Layer 3: The bridge rails.
    • Layer 4: Flow above the rails (assumed to be unimpeded).

    See Table 6-21 of the 2018 TUFLOW Manual for more information on the attributes.

  5. The 2d_po files include a structure group output for the 2D bridge. The 'Label' attribute links the 2d_po line to the 2d_po points by the same attribute ‘Bridge’.
  6. The 2d_po line is snapped to the 2d_lfcsh from left to right looking downstream and has the following attributes:
    • Type = QS (structure flow)
    • Label = Bridge
  7. The 2d_po points are digitised upstream and downstream of the 2d_lfcsh and have the following attributes:
    • Type = HU (water level upstream) and HD (water level downstream)
    • Label = Bridge

Conclusion

  • The 2d_lfcsh layer was supplied for use as a 2D bridge.
  • The 2d_po structure group layers were added to output additional hydraulic information of the 2D bridge.
