TT200: TUFLOW FV Introductory Training

An introduction to TUFLOW FV flexible mesh modelling

TT200: TUFLOW FV Introductory Training

Overview

This introductory course opens with an overview of TUFLOW FV and its modules, including exploration of some examples of its environmental applications. This is followed by detailed instruction in how to efficiently build digital elevation models and flexible meshes using modern techniques. Participants will then learn how to construct a 2D hydrodynamic and advection dispersion estuarine model, including automated application of atmospheric and oceanic boundaries. Practical instruction will be provided in result viewing using the QGIS TUFLOW Viewer and Jupyter notebooks. The model will then be converted to 3D and the use of events, scenarios and variables discussed. This is offered as teacher led face-to-face (classroom) learning, with attendees building, updating, and running a TUFLOW FV model with ample opportunity to interact and discuss topics with our expert trainers.

Format

Online (O)

This course is hosted online over Zoom and is run over two sessions during a one week period. Each session is 3 to 4 hours long. A short preparation session is also held in the week prior to the course to ensure all trainees have the necessary software and course data installed. This online course is limited to a class size of six trainees per event.

Classroom (C) 

This face-to-face course is run in a classroom format over two consecutive days. Each day is 7 to 8 hours long. The face-to-face in person course is limited to a class size of twelve trainees.  

Prerequisites
