4. Summary
1. What is 2D modelling?
2. What is ISIS 2D?
3. ISIS 2D applications
4. Looking to the future
Focus on:
• Modularity of modelling engines
• Plurality in developing 2D solvers
• Integration with GIS
• Interfaces and their intuitiveness
• Improved topographic data shifts uncertainty to roughness
• Model management for their defensibility

5. 1. 2D Modelling – the technical details
• Solves the Shallow Water Equations:
Mass balance
Inertia Convection Surface slope Bed friction Eddy viscosity
• On a grid of square cells or unstructured mesh
• Various solvers: e.g. ADI or TVD
5 12/23/12 The Practice of 2D Floodplain Modelling: ISIS 2D - Rahman Khat
6. 1. ADI Solver –Alternating Direction Implicit
• Roots: uses the scheme given by Stelling (1984)
• Numerical Scheme:
• Reinvents 1D solvers in the 2D domain in each direction but staggered
• Outcome – implicit solver (large time step)
• Applicability:
• Good for floodplain flows
• Copes with most of breach problems
• Limitations: Problems with supercritical flows
Water depth
x-component specific discharge
y-component specific discharge
Bed elevation

7. 1. TVD Solver - Total Variation Diminishing
• Roots: McCormack scheme (1969)
• Numerical Scheme:
• Predictor-corrector – ensures numerical oscillations do not develop
• Non-staggered – velocities are solved at cell centres
• Applicability:
• Subcritical and supercritical flows
• Dambreak flows,
• Spillways,
• Breaching,
• Steep surface water flows
• Limitations: computationally intensive
7 12/23/12 The Practice of 2D Floodplain Modelling: ISIS 2D - Rahman Khat
8. 1. Simplified Mass Balance Schemes
• Roots: Bates and Roo (2000)
• So much for so little:
• First come, first served +
• Seeking for the lowest cell
• Applicability:
• Broad scale surface water risk assessment
• Coastal inundation modelling
• Modelling surface water from sewer surcharging
• Limitations: completely ignores momentum

10. 1. 2D versus 1D Modelling
Advantages of 1D: Barriers to 2D models before 2000
• Some vector data not much raster
• Coping with many degrees of
grid data
freedom: gates, weirs, bridges,
• Prohibitive model run times
tributaries, abstractions
Since 2000
• Fast runs
• Paradigm shift by LiDAR tech
Disadvantages: • Improved computational speed
• TUFLOW at the place, right time
• Artificially selecting flow
paths – two examples
• Defensibility of decisions on
• Now: 1D survived besides 2D
floodplain flow paths • Focus on uncertainty moved from
data to others: e.g. hydrology, roughness
• Opportunities for innovation
