Flooding simulation

Module

Simulating flooding situations to check the model for extreme conditions.

Overview

InfoDrainage uses a 1D simulation engine to calculate the flows in the pipes, manholes, and other structures below the ground in combination with a 2D simulation engine to predict flood flows across the catchment surface, enabling it to represent the overflow.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

  • Summarize how the 1D - 2D Analysis uses the 1D simulation engine in combination with a 2D simulation engine to enable the program to represent flooding.
  • Route flood water across the catchment surface during rare flood conditions.
