Water Module Basics
The Water Module in the Tygron Platform is an implementation a 2D grid based shallow water model based on the 2D Saint Venant equations. The module is further enhanced with infiltration, evaporation, groundwater flow and hydraulic structures. set of complex hydrological calculations. This module simulates a water model for your project area, based on rainfall, breaches and existing open water.
The water module enables users to implement a water model for their project which is accurate and delivers fast results. To ensure accuracy, the water module is repeatedly tested against multiple (internationally) acknowledged hydrological benchmarks and tests. Fast results are achieved by executing the water calculations on High performance GPU servers.
The water module is primarily created for users that analyze spatial water problems in urban and rural areas. These spatial problems include heavy rainfall scenarios, flooding and evacuation situations and simplified groundwater and water management simulations.
The Tygron Platform provides a large set of tools to import data, configure models and analyze and export results. These include:
- Animated, multi timeframe overlays
- On-the-fly 1D and 2D-slice Measurement tools
- Grid-cell detail hover information
- Scenic weather simulation
