Use of River2D (www.river2d.ualberta.ca), therefore
operational procedure involved:
• Creation of bed
Square domain with:
• width and height = 200 m
• slope Sx = 0.002, Sy = 0.005
• inflow area as a channel with width = 20 m
• outflow area along the bottom side
• roughness height k = 0.2 m
• flooding discharge Q = 10 m3/s (constant)
A simple exercise: requests
• Create a suitable geometry and an associated .bed file;
• decide how to model inflow and outflow, possibly adapting
the bed topography to the choice;
• create the computational mesh;
• assign appropriate boundary conditions;
• recognize which parameters must be set to perform a
transient simulation and assign values;
• set appropriate output options to monitor the obtained
solution and to get qualitative and quantitative information;
• characterize the propagation of the front;
• quantify expected depths and velocities;
• assess the result sensitivity to the identified parameters.
A simple exercise: concept
Square domain with:
• width and height = 200 m
…Which BCs and ICs do we need?
• slope Sx = 0.002, Sy = 0.005
• inflow area as a channel with width = 20 m
• outflow area along the bottom side
• roughness height k = 0.2 m
• flooding discharge Q = 10 m3/s (constant)
A simple exercise: concept
Square domain with:
• width and height = 200 m
…Which BCs and ICs do we need?
• slope Sx = 0.002, Sy = 0.005
• inflow area as• a channel with width(corresponds
Inflow hydrograph = 20 m to two BCs)
• outflow area along the bottom side
• Outflow depth
• roughness height k = 0.2 m
• Initial condition in terms of inflow depth
• flooding discharge Q = 10 m3/s (constant)
Care!
A simple exercise: implementation
River2D works with:
• bed file (.bed) handling the geometry
• mesh file (.msh) with the computational mesh
• model file (.cdg) with the BC/IC and simulation results
• hydrograph file (.bcq)
• file with monitor points (.csv)
