TUFLOW - Two & one-dimensional Unsteady FLOW Software for Rivers, Estuaries and Coastal Waters

Summary: Once limited to coastal hydraulics, two-dimensional (2D) modelling of free-surface flows is today used for a broad range of investigations, from oceans to urban flooding. Computer technology is driving this expansion and software are evolving to meet the scientific and engineering challenges. The TUFLOW software continues to develop and evolve to meet the challenges, particularly in flood modelling. Its strengths are rapid wetting and drying, powerful 1D linking options, modelling of hydraulic structures, treatment of levees and embankments, effective data handling and quality control outputs. It is suited to modelling flooding in major rivers through to complex overland and piped urban flows, and estuarine and coastal hydraulics. TUFLOW uses GIS to manage, manipulate and present data.
