| ==What is the Flooding overlay==
| | [[File:FloodingOverlay2.png|right|thumb|200px|Flooding overlay]] |
| The Flooding Overlay is developed for the computation of surface (water) flow in a wide range of applications. These applications include large scale inundations due to dike breaches and inundations at the bottom of hill-slopes. Therefore the commonly applied 2D Saint Venant Equations are implemented on a highly parallel applicable explicit numerical scheme suitable for Tygron GPU clusters. | | The Flooding Overlay is a variant of the [[Water Overlay]], which in turn is a [[Grid overlay|grid overlay]]. Water overlays are connected to the [[Water Module]], a complex hydrological calculation module within the {{software}}. |

| ==Adding and removing==
| | The Flooding Overlay calculates and visualizes the movement of water over land, due to a [[Breach_(Water_Overlay)|breach]] or other [[Inlet_(Water_Overlay)|inflow]] of water in the project area. |

| <br clear=all>
| | The Flooding Overlay is a Water Overlay that is connected to the Water Module. This Water Module performs two dimensional grid based water simulations for a large set of input data and parameters, configured mostly through a related [[Water_Overlay_Wizard|Water Overlay Wizard]]. When a simulation finishes, the module stores the result in the Flooding overlay based on the selected result type. Only one result type can be stored per Flooding overlay. |

| | The Water Module however, is not restricted to generating only one type of result. Instead it can produce multiple unique result types for one single simulation. |
| | Fortunately it is possible to add additional result type overlays which relate to a particular Rainfall overlay. These are known as [[Result Child Overlay]]s. Again, each child overlay only stores one particular result type. |
|
| |
|
| ==Configuring the Overlay==
| | Apart from multiple result types, the Flooding overlay can also store result data of multiple, intermediate simulation results, instead of just a single end result. These intermediate simulation results are known as [[Timeframes_(Water_Overlay)|timeframes]]. |
| The Flooding Overlay has a configuration wizard which helps the user with setting up the Overlay.
| |
| The Configuration wizard can be found on the right panel, when the overlay is selected.
| |
| The wizard contains generic steps for the [[Water_Overlays|Water Overlays page]], but has also a specific step for the Flooding Overlay.
| |
| Please see the [[Water_Overlays|Water Overlays page]] for more information on how to go through the generic steps of the wizard.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Result types==
| | For the full list of result types, see [[Result type (Water Overlay)#List of Result Types|List of Result Types]]. |
| The Flooding Overlay is a [[grid overlay]] showing results of a dike breach/heavy rainfall on the surface (flooding), sub-surface (groundwater), open water and sewer system. For the produced results, see the [[Water_Overlays#Result_types|result types]].
| | For other results, which are not overlay results, but still related to the simulation of a Flooding overlay, see [[Results (Water Overlay)|water overlay results]] |
|
| |
|
| ==Visualization== | | ==Module== |
| In the Configuration Wizard in step 5 and 6, several visualization methods can be chosen. In step 5 the results types (overlays) are chosen.
| | A Flooding Overlay can be configured by opening the Flooding Overlay Wizard. More in-depth information can be found under each of the categories below. |
| After these are chosen the result types can be found in the left panel.

| ===2D Saint Venant equations===
| |
| The 2D Saint Venant equations describe the conservation of mass in a gridcell and the conservation of momentum in both x and y, direction:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Inundation_overlay_01.PNG|350px]]
| |
| | |
| The Saint Venant equations describe the following processes:
| |
| * friction
| |
| * bed slope
| |
| * water pressure
| |
| * convection (changes in bathemetry over space)
| |
| * inertia (increase or decrease of velocity over time)
| |
| | |
| ===Numerical scheme===
| |
| The explicit second-order semi-discrete central-upwind scheme for the 2D Saint Venant Equations is implemented. A reconstruction of cell bottom, water level and velocity at the interfaces between computational cells as proposed by Lax and Wendroff (Rezzolla, 2011). The {{software}} Inundation module relies on the scheme described in Kurganov and Petrova (2007). The reconstruction method is taken from Bolderman et all (2014) and ensures numerical stability at the wetting and drying front of a flood wave.
| |
| | |
| A clear explanation on the numerical approach can be found at Horváth et al. (2014), but in general it follows these steps:
| |
| # The elevation value of the cell (B in figures below) is equal to the elevation value at the center of the cell. At the same time, it is equal to the average value of the elevation values at the cell interface midpoints
| |
| # The slopes of the conserved variables (U in figures below), continuity and momentum in x and y direction, are reconstructed
| |
| # Values of conserved variables at the cell interface midpoints are compared with the left-sided and right sided values at cell centres
| |
| # At partially dry cells, the slope is modified to both avoid negative depths and numerical instability
| |
| # (Numerical) fluxes are computed at each cell interface to determine the values of the conserved variable at the cell centres for the next time-step

| | |
| ===Computation time step===
| |
| An adaptive timestep is implemented according to Kurganov and Petrova (2007). At every timestep, the courant-number is kept smaller than 0.25 for every active computation cell:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Inundation_overlay_03.PNG|400px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Especially at low depths, choosing the appropriate timestep is critical to avoid numerical instability. Therefore the following principles are used to determine the right time step:
| |
| * the timestep is choosen so that all computation cells follow one of the following criteria
| |
| * if a cells waterdepth is below the flooding threshold, 5 * 10&sup-3; (m) there is no flow assumed between that cell and it neigboring cell
| |
| * if the cells waterdepth is above above the flooding threshold, the maximum timestep is assumed to be 100 * the waterdepth at the cell
| |
| * if the waterdepth increases, the timestep is assumed to be not larger than the formula above
| |
| | |
| If he numerical flux decreases, the larger timesteps are allowed than set by Kurganov and Petrova, depending on the calculation preference set in the general tab of the inundation overlay (speed, average or accuracy).

The Flooding Overlay is a variant of the Water Overlay, which in turn is a grid overlay. Water overlays are connected to the Water Module, a complex hydrological calculation module within the Tygron Platform.
The Flooding Overlay calculates and visualizes the movement of water over land, due to a breach or other inflow of water in the project area.
In order to get more familiar with the different components of the Flooding Overlay check out Quadrant 1 of the Water Module Testbed. This Testbed is available to you as a project in the Tygron Platform.
