Robson Pachaly edited this page Nov 3, 2023 · 10 revisions

Generates detailed sediment maps based on single-phase simulation results from FLO-2D output files, providing a comprehensive view of potential flood scenarios. The next sections will describe in detail the sediment maps that can be generated by MapCrafter.

Site Characteristics

Ground elevation:

$\qquad$ TOPO.DAT - Grid element, x- and y-coordinates, and their elevations

Basic

Maximum Depth

$\qquad$ DEPTH.OUT: Maximum combined channel/floodplain flow depths

Maximum Velocity

Maximum Velocity Vectors

$\qquad$ VELFP.OUT: Maximum floodplain flow velocity

$\qquad$ VELDIREC.OUT: Flow maximum velocity direction

Maximum WSE

$\qquad$ MAXWSELEV.OUT: Maximum water surface elevation of either the floodplain or channel

Final Depth

$\qquad$ FINALDEP.OUT: Final floodplain flow depths

Final Velocity

$\qquad$ FINALVEL.OUT: Flow velocity at the end of the simulation

Final Velocity Vectors

$\qquad$ FINALVEL.OUT: Flow velocity at the end of the simulation
