HYDRAULIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
FloodWorks is proud to use TUFLOW hydraulic software.
FloodWorks, Lismore Northern NSW, uses the TUFLOW software platform which provides the power to analyse and predict hydraulic behaviour, depth and velocity and accurately models the interaction of surface and underground systems in an integrated 1D/2D modelling environment. TUFLOW uses the powerful and well-accepted TUFLOW analysis engine to solve the full 2D shallow-water equations on a finite-difference grid. This means that you will get accurate hydraulics answers, stable model runs, and fast run times — key requirements that must be balanced in a model suited for real-world use.
Why TUFLOW?
- Accuracy. When it comes to stormwater and flooding, accurate simulation and forecasting can save lives and property. A simulation model that can demonstrate how water moves over land and how it interacts with the piped and channel system and the terrain.
- 1D/2D Integration. The combination of the 1D network flow with 2D surface flow uses the best description of the flow for each case. See how stormwater on the surface interact with an existing creek or piped system. Watch as stormwater systems, waters flow down streets or across land surfaces and either pool or re-enter the system.
- Structures and Terrain. Model not only the land terrain but its specific attributes. Factors in a model can include different types of land use, buildings, structures, dams, levees, fences and more. Tins can be modified within the software allowing for faster iterations.
- Powerful Analysis. Using the powerful and well-accepted TUFLOW analysis engine means that you will get accurate hydraulics answers, stable model runs, and fast run times.
