4.1 Context

Previous sections have presented the architecture and water quality processes available within the WQ Module. This section describes the construction of a TUFLOW simulation with the WQ Module activated. This includes descriptions of all commands, with hyperlinks to the Appendices where commands and explanations are listed in a searchable and sortable table for ease of access. TUFLOW FV is the hydrodynamic model used in all descriptions that follow.

Optional model classes (such as pathogens) and their construction are first described in the simplest simulation class for which they can be deployed. Commentary on the ordering of optional constituents is provided in subsequent sections only where needed.
