Read about 2020 highlights and get a taste of what is coming in 2021
It’s very rewarding to reflect on yet another amazing year with so many great achievements. The positive feedback flowing in for the 2020 TUFLOW Classic / HPC and FV releases has been very pleasing off the back of the major research and development efforts that went into both. Further to this, broader industry recognition by receiving the Australian Financial Review’s most innovative companies listing and being part of the team who won the first UK Hydrographic Office ADMIRALTY Marine Innovation Programme Challenge has been extremely satisfying...
Several years’ worth of research, development and benchmarking of numerous industry changing features culminated in the 2020 TUFLOW Classic/HPC release. Of those, the most significant developments were:
2020 has been the biggest year on record for TUFLOW FV. It saw the unveiling of new GIS integration tools and several new modules; namely GPU acceleration, sediment transport and particle tracking. We established a formal partnership with the Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics team at The University of Western Australia (UWA) to deliver water quality simulation capabilities as part of TUFLOW’s core. It was also the first year where the product line has been taught at a university undergraduate level. The year concluded with the REMBRANT/TUFLOW FV Team winning the first UK Hydrographic Office Innovation challenge...
With over 42,000 downloads of the QGIS TUFLOW plugin and a 5-star user rating, it is evident that our GIS tools are highly valued by the TUFLOW Community.
2020 saw continued development of TUFLOW’s GIS Plugins / add-ins for ESRI’s GIS platforms, MapInfo and QGIS. 2020 will be remembered as the year when TUFLOW FV flexible mesh modellers were given the tools necessary to use GIS as a complete 2D and 3D modelling environment, for model development, result viewing and analysis.

There have been positives to COVID-19, and one of them was our quickly executed pivot to online training, which subsequently translated to us setting a TUFLOW record for the number of events run in a single year.
Moving into 2021 we will be continuing online training and hope to recommence in-person classroom training in the second half of the year, but without doubt online training is here to stay and we plan to offer a mix going forward.
