6.4 Other outputs
In addition to the above, TUFLOW CATCH produces a small suite of supporting outputs that are simple text files. These are listed below, with hyperlinks to the relevant sections of Appendix C that provide more detail and units. If the TUFLOW CATCH BC output folder is set to
Catch BC Output Folder
then all files below are written to the
- A series of mass balance files
- Surface water. Timeseries of spatially summed cumulative surface water flow and associated pollutant masses leaving the TUFLOW HPC model (either to a polygon (Pollutant Export TUFLOW CATCH configuration) or TUFLOW FV model domain (Hydrology and Integrated TUFLOW CATCH configurations))
- Groundwater. Timeseries of spatially summed cumulative groundwater flow and associated pollutant masses leaving the TUFLOW HPC model (either to a polygon (Pollutant Export TUFLOW CATCH configuration) or TUFLOW FV model domain (Hydrology and Integrated TUFLOW CATCH configurations))
- Total. Its content is the summation of the data reported in the respective surface and groundwater mass balance outputs
- A receiving polygon inflows and concentrations. If TUFLOW CATCH has been executed in the Pollutant Export configuration, then a timeseries output file is produced that reports incoming flow and concentrations to that user defined polygon
- TUFLOW FV boundaries. A series of TUFLOW FV boundary related files are written as follows:
- BC blocks. A single file that contains all required TUFLOW FV nodestring (Q) and cell (QC) inflow boundary BC blocks is written by TUFLOW CATCH. This file is called automatically by TUFLOW FV under TUFLOW CATCH when required. It is at the heart of the automated linking offered by TUFLOW CATCH. Users should not edit this file in any way. This file calls underlying nodestring and/or lateral boundary condition data files produced by TUFLOW HPC, and these are described below.
- Nodestring boundary data. If TUFLOW CATCH has been executed in the Hydrology or Integrated configuration and TUFLOW FV nodestrings have been specified then individual data files are produced for each nodestring TUFLOW FV boundary
- Lateral boundary data. If TUFLOW CATCH has been executed in the Hydrology or Integrated configuration then individual lateral data files are produced for each transfer cell boundary
- Intervention summary. If interventions are simulated then a summary file is produced that reports inflow (which is the same as outflow), incoming mass and removed mass as cumulative totals over the simulation duration, for each intervention and each pollutant.
