5.2 New Example Models
A series of fifteen new 3D example models have been added to TUFLOW FV’s Example Model Dataset. The 3D Estuary Model example suite primarily focuses on 3D boundary condition types.
The Floodplain and Estuary models now include a series of Simulation Management components showcasing TUFLOW FV 2025.0.0’s new event, scenario and variable features.
5.3 TUFLOW FV Wiki Updates
The following TUFLOW FV Wiki pages have been upgraded:
5.4 User Manuals
The suite of TUFLOW FV user documentation is provided for reference in Table 5.2.
| Manual | Description |
|---|---|
| TUFLOW FV User Manual | The TUFLOW FV User Manual is the primary guide to help users understand the TUFLOW FV software ecosystem and to help with the development of TUFLOW FV models. The User Manual provides detailed instructions and examples on recommended folder structuring, control file setup and command descriptions. The TUFLOW FV User Manual will be released in a web based form in subsequent commercial releases. |
| TUFLOW FV Science Manual | The TUFLOW FV Science Manual provides detail on TUFLOW FV’s underlying hydrodynamic and advection dispersion numerical scheme. The TUFLOW FV Science Manual will be released in a web based form in subsequent commercial releases. |
| TUFLOW FV Sediment Transport and Particle Tracking Modules User Manual | A comprehensive Sediment Transport and Particle Tracking Modules User Manual is available for use with the Sediment Transport and Particle Tracking Modules of TUFLOW FV. This manual contains Scientific Documentation on the various sediment and particle model options available. The format of the Sediment Control File (.fvsed) and Particle Tracking Control File (.fvptm) is detailed with example code snippets and command appendices also provided. The TUFLOW FV Sediment Transport and Particle Tracking Modules User Manual will be released in a web based form in subsequent commercial releases. |
| TUFLOW FV Water Quality Module User Manual | The TUFLOW FV Water Quality User Manual provides a comprehensive online user guide for the TUFLOW FV Water Quality Module. It should be used to support all water quality model builds and simulations as it includes information beyond just commands: it is a full guide to the processes, constituents, diagnostics, demonstration models, science and set up of water quality simulations. It also includes interactive plots and network diagrams to support user understanding. |
