Key Features

RiverFLO-2D key features and components

RiverFLO-2D minimizes time-consuming model setup, allowing you to concentrate in the actual model application and result analysis. It has the following features:

• Flexible triangular finite element meshes;
• Mesh refinement to resolve complex river features;
• Supercritical and subcritical flow;
• Steady and time-dependent flow;
• Mobile-bed sediment transport;
• Numerically stable explicit solution scheme;
• Dry-wet bed capability not requiring initially wet elements;
• Parallelized code for multiple-processor computers;
• Documented input ASCII, free format files;
• Comprehensive ASCII output files;
• Graphical output in a variety of formats:

- Contour, density and 3D surface plots,
– Velocity fields including DXF CAD format,
– Cross sections,
– Animated and colored plots for velocities, depths, water surface elevations and bed elevation changes during and after model simulations.
