FLO-2D is a 2D flood routing model that combines hydrology and hydraulics. The hydrological component is a rainfall-runoff model, with an overland flow model that simulates the movement of the flood volume around the grid. Flow conveyed into the channel is routed using the 1D Saint Venant wave equation. FLO-2D is useable for a wide variety of applications, for example, flood mitigation studies, storm drain modeling, dam breach analysis, surface and ground water interactions, mud flows, and sediment transport.
Key features of the FLO-2D model include a Graphical User Interface (GUI), Grid Developer System (GDS), and Mapper. The features allow the user to process and edit the grid data, graphically edit hydraulic structures, and create flood risk and flood hazard maps. FLO-2D is capable of processing different types of topographical data and can be coupled with the third party software SWMM.
