Learn how to apply TUFLOW’s extensive capabilities for modelling pipe network drainage systems in conjunction with surface flows. Also learn how to use automated methods to quality check and correct errors in large pipe network datasets.
TUFLOW's 1D solver (ESTRY) is one of the most advanced 1D pipe network and open channel solvers available. TUFLOW is quickly becoming the software of choice for integrated catchment modelling due to it's accuracy, simulation speed and also the ease in which large 1D pipe datasets (>10,000 pipes) can be managed.
This online half day hands-on course teaches the detailed hydraulic loss features built into TUFLOW which enable it to achieve such accurate pipe network flood behaviour estimates. Having learnt those details, attendees will complete various exercises using a model including a pipe network drainage system, coupled to above ground surface flows modelled in 2D. Further to this, attendees will also learn how to use automated methods to quality check and correct errors in large complex pipe network datasets using the free QGIS TUFLOW Plugin. This is a particularly useful tool and skill when working with large pipe network datasets, where by comparison manual review of input data quality may accidentally miss data mistakes, subsequently translating to modelling errors.
This course will be run over 3 to 4 hours either in classroom or via Zoom.
The online version of this course is limited to a class size of six trainees so that all participants receive a personalised experience and there is plenty of scope to interact and discuss with the trainer. Short preparation session will be held the week prior to the course to ensure all trainees can access the training portal, have the necessary software installed and course data downloaded.
The classroom in person course is limited to a class size of twelve trainees.
The hands-on training part is completely interactive with each attendee completing the QGIS exercises under the guidance of our trainer.
Entry level ability in using QGIS for TUFLOW modelling is necessary. Prior completion of the following free eLearning courses is required:
