What Is OpenFlows FLOOD?

OpenFlows FLOOD uses fully spatially-distributed numerical models to simulate all hydrological and hydraulic processes that occur in river basins, including rainfall, infiltration, surface runoff, channel flow, and groundwater flow. In urban areas, OpenFlows FLOOD can be connected to a model generated by OpenFlows SewerGEMS to simulate the surface and stormwater flow. Additionally, the model can be used to simulate flooding in coastal areas due to storm surges.

Mitigate Flood Risks in Urban, Riverine, and Coastal Areas

Spatially Distributed Numerical Models Simulate all hydrological and hydraulic processes that occur in river basins including rainfall, infiltration, surface runoff, channel flow, and groundwater flow. Leverage Real-world Digital Context and Visualization Using a 3D reality mesh from ContextCapture, you can bring simulations to life by generating realistic visualizations of flood events. Quickly Find the Best Solution for Flood Risk Mitigation Use scenario management to easily make comparisons among different alternatives.

Jumpstart the Model-building Process

Import many well-known external data formats Automate input data generation and maximize ROI on existing geospatial and engineering data. Calculate River Flows and Surface Runoff Prepare spatial data and use different modeling approaches to simulate surface runoff, the exchange of water between the river, the floodplain, and (sub)surface flow using fully integrated 1D-2D grid. Simulate Flooding in Urban Areas Evaluate water flows in the piped subsurface network, river, and coastal systems, as well as the surface flow and the exchange of water between systems.
