2006: Coral Sea Cyclone (Plan View)
2006: Coral Sea Cyclone (Oblique View)
2005: Examples of 1D-2D Linking and New 2D-2D Linking Capability
2002: Herbert River, North Queensland, Australia
1999: Casino, Richmond River, Northern NSW, Australia

Coral Sea Cyclone (Plan View)

(Back to Top)

The animation shows the progression of a cyclone onto the North Queensland coast. The red to purple shades indicate elevated ocean/surge levels due to the atmospheric pressure differential and the wind stresses on the water column. This is new feature in TULFOW which will be available in future releases.

Coral Sea Cyclone (Oblique View)

(Back to Top)

The animation shows the progression of the same cyclone in animation above in an oblique view. The top oblique shows (greatly amplified) the elevated ocean/surge levels (yellow shades) due to the atmospheric pressure differential and the wind stresses on the water column.

Casino, Richmond River, Northern NSW, Australia

(Back to Top)

Computer animation stills showing the effect of a proposed levee for Casino, Richmond River, NSW. Yellow indicates <5cm change in flood level, orange/red shades indicate an increase in 10cm intervals and green shades a decrease. Pink areas were previously flooded, but are now flood-free if the levee is built.

The animation shows the rise and fall of the flood, and was created by subtracting the predicted flood levels of the "without levee" case from the "with levee" case.
