2D Flood Modelling with ISIS2D

Overview

This two day course is aimed at those involved in the development and review of hydraulic models and focuses primarily on 2D floodplain representation using ISIS2D.  The course will equip users with the skills to:

• Understand the hydraulics of floodplain flow and how they can be represented by 2D models
• Build, run and analyse results from 2D and linked 1D-2D models
• Assess when to use 1D and 2D models
• Appraise model outputs from models built by them or others

The course assumes a basic understanding of 1D modelling, and is presented from a practical point of view by expert Halcrow modellers. The course concentrates on fluvial modelling, with dam break, surface water and coastal models also discussed.

This course is delivered through a series of presentations, hands-on practicals and open discussion sessions. The purpose of the course is to introduce the concepts of full-2D and linked 1D-2D hydraulic modelling and to provide hands-on training for building 1D, 2D and linked ISIS models. The course uses ISIS Mapper to build models, view and analyse results, with guidance on how to use other GIS software with ISIS2D.
