Version [08.15.01] Exes Build [26/06/2024]

This is a major upgrade that includes the new tools and improvements for RiverFlow2D,
OilFlow2D and HydroBID Flood models.

General new features

• New support for QGIS v3.34.75 Long-term Release. RiverFlow2D, OilFlow2D
and HydroBID Flood models can now run under QGIS v3.34.75 Long-term
Release.
• The Reference Manuals have been updated for RiverFlow2D and OilFlow2D
models.
• The Tutorials have been updated to make them compatible with the QGIS
v3.34.75 Long-term Release and this new version of the models.
• The animations can now be exported in KMZ format for visualization in Google
Earth.
• New implicit wind stress integration, versions CPU and GPU

MT, MT-GPU. Mud and Tailings Modules.

 • The Voellmy rhelogical formulation has been added.
• The MT model can now include Bridges.
• Updated Chapter Mud and Tailings Model in the user manual.

ST, ST-GPU. Sediment Transport Modules.

• The ST model can now include Bridges.

OL-Land. OilFlow2D on Land

• New Bottom Shear Layer (BSL) model for oil flow over water. This is a major
new feature that allows the overland oil flow to continue spreading on a water
body using the continuous equations. To use this component the user should first
run the water hydrodynamic model to calculate the unsteady velocity filed and
then run the overland oil spill model. The program will then look at each cell and
consider the friction exerted by the water under the oil to add to the spreading in
addition to the standard viscous terms.
• Automatic local mesh generation in the batch processing of multiple spills. The
model will not require a single mesh covering all spill points, but will generate
local smaller meshes for each spill release. The mesh will automatically expand
in case the oil arrives to one of the mesh boundaries. This greatly simplifies the
batch multiple spill procedure, reducing computer times by an order of magnitude
and reducing result file storage requirements, since each spill is output to the
small local mesh.
•
• New High Consequence Area (HCA) tool in the QGIS OilFlow2D plugin that
allows determining the impact of a given spill on HCA polygons and lines. The
tool will intersect the results of a overland oil spill simulation with HCA layers and
calculate the volume, arrival time, and many other parameters related to the spill
impact.
• New Wetted Boundary Cells control (wetBcell). This function identifies the cells
on the mesh boundary that have been hit by oil allowing the automatic expansion
of the local mesh when using the Oil Pipeline module for multiple spills.
• New progress bar in the Oil Pipeline Module while computing the pile hydraulics
and leek hydrographs.
• New reading function for OILP file, versions >= 202405 (30 lines).
• The OL model can now optionally run with a text window (Console) instead of the
standard graphic window. This increases by 2 times the runtime speeds for some
cases.
• The Rain/Evaporation component has been added to the OL models
• A new organization of map creation tools have been implemented in the QGIS
OilFlow2D plugin.
 • Changes in the Oil Pipeline Break Model form that includes new fields to enter
the CellSize of the local Mesh as well as the H/V relationship of the rectangle that
defines the Domain Outline.

OILW. OilFlow2D on Water

• Containment boom component for OilFlow2D. In this version the booms can
move at a velocity set by the user to allow simulations of booms that are dragged
by tug boats.
• The software can now generate mp4 animations of the oil particle trajectories
both forward and backward in time. The animations can be automatically created
after each run using the bat files: CreateMP4ParticleAnimation.BAT and
CreateMP4ParticleInverseAnimation.BAT
• A new organization of map creation tools has been implemented in the QGIS
OilFlow2D plugin.
• Two new maps can now be generated in the QGIS OilFlow2D plugin for the Oil
Spill on Water model: Oil arrival time and Maximum Oil Volume.

flow according to the outflow normal direction

* ST
- exp files are now written in concordance with the Plus module
- Note that for the MDGPU module, the file "zscalebw.png" is required inside the img
folder

Build [27/11/2017 - ]
* ALL
- massBalance.out file includes the header modification
- sources/sinks rating table feature added

Build [13/11/2017 - ]
* ALL
- massBalance.out file includes the header
- Change for the water depth BC according to the mesh orientation
- Compiled for CUDA 9.0

Build [03/10/2017 - ]
* PLUS,GPU
- Local Inf and local rain log messages has been corrected (minor mistakes)
*ST
- ROUT file now writes the solid discharge without multiplying by the porosity of each
material. However, the massBalance.out file still computes the total volume of sediment
(already multiplied by the porosity of each material)

Build [25/09/2017 - ]
* PLUS,GPU
- Local Inf and local rain log messages has been reduced
*ALL
- Mass balance implemented with hotstart

New stateqs.out created for QGIS interface

Build [29/08/2017 - ]
* ST
- Erosion-deposition terms have been corrected for the SS module.
- The minus sign for the input solid discharges in the ROUT file has been removed.
- Integration in the boundaries is done according to the porosity for each suspended
sediment.
* ALL
- New file massBalance.out has been implemented to check the total integrated mass.
- The minus sign for the output discharges (liquid and solid) in the ROUT file has been
removed.

Build [25/08/2017 - ]
* ALL
- LocalRain implemented to be read from LRAIN file instead of providing one file per
storm or zone. A negative number in the number of zones (or points) is necessary to
enable this component.

Build [26/07/2017 - ]
* ALL
- Corrected log file. Now PL module is working
* PLUSGPU, STGPU, MDGPU
-Compilation flags for all GPU cards downgrade to the original version.
Build [20/07/2017 - ]
* ALL
- Log file implemented
- Interpolate z on cells to nodes to be consistent with cell elevations. In the .FED file the
nodal elevations were directly obtained from the .2dm file elevations. Since the model
uses the cell elevations these nodal elevations are interpolated to the cell centroids. In
this version the interpolated cell elevations are used to determine adjusted nodal
elevations.
* PLUS, PLUSGPU
- Dambreach restrictions when 'touching' either width or bottom limits implemented. An
additional file called $NAME_MOD.dat is written where $NAME is the name of the
breach.

discharge.
