Introduction

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

Method

Increment the dambreak layer from Part 1 to change time trigger into water level trigger:

  1. Navigate to the Module_10\model\gis folder and open the 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_001_R.shp in QGIS.
  2. Select the 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_001_R layer in the Layers panel.
  3. Click on the ‘Increment Selected Layer’ symbol from the TUFLOW Plugin toolbar.
  4. The tool automatically renames the 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_001_R to 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_002_R.
  5. Select to remove the source layer from the workspace.
  6. Click 'OK'.
  7. The tool removes the source layer from the Layers panel and the 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_002_R appears:

  8. Right click on the 2d_vzsh_M10_dambreak_002_R layer to toggle on Editing.
  9. Click on the 'Identify Features' tool and click on the polygon.
  10. Update the following attributes:
    • Trigger_1: WL_Trigger
    • Trigger_Value: 60
    • Period: 0.5
  11. Click 'OK' and turn off editing to save the edits.

Create a point to set the location of the water level trigger:

  1. Click on the ‘Import Empty File’ symbol from the TUFLOW Plugin toolbar.
  2. Select '2d_vzsh' from the Empty Type list.
  3. In the Run ID box write 'M10_dambreak_002'.
  4. Tick the 'Points' Geometry Type and hit 'OK'. The 2d_vzsh layer appears in the Layers panel.
  5. Right click on the 2d_zsh_M10_dambreak_002_P and toggle on Editing.
  6. Select 'Add Point Feature'.
  7. Digitise a point within the dam upstream of the location of the dam break.
  8. An attributes dialog displays, enter the following attributes:
    • Shape_Option: TRIGGER
    • Trigger_1: WL_Trigger
  9. Click 'OK' and turn off editing to save the edits.

Conclusion

  • A 2d_vzsh region layer was modified to simulate a dambreak based on water level at specific point.
  • A 2d_vzsh point layer was created to set the location of the water level trigger.
