Overview
This course focuses on developing a higher level of expertise in both 1D and 2D modeling, with an emphasis on diagnosing issues, improving model stability, and understanding how different modeling approaches behave under challenging conditions. Through a combination of targeted theory sessions and intensive practical exercises, you’ll gain the skills needed to work more efficiently and effectively on demanding projects.
Rather than introducing new fundamentals, this course builds on your existing knowledge - helping you refine your approach, strengthen your problem-solving abilities, and gain deeper insight into advanced modeling techniques and tools.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to work independently on complex Flood Modeller-TUFLOW linked models. You’ll be able to diagnose issues more effectively, improve model performance, and apply advanced techniques to deliver robust and reliable results.
This course represents the final stage in the training pathway - equipping you with the expertise needed to operate at an advanced, professional level and tackle the most demanding flood modelling scenarios.
Hands-on practical experience
A strong practical focus underpins this course, with exercises designed around realistic scenarios and common industry challenges. You will:
Diagnose and resolve model initialization errors
Work with faulty models, interpret error messages, and identify the root causes of initialization failures.
Explore single vs double precision
Understand when and how to use different precision settings, including hands-on work with reservoir simulations to assess their impact.
Investigate and fix runtime errors
Run simulations that produce instability or failure, and apply structured approaches to resolve issues.
Troubleshoot instabilities in 1D–2D models
