A live and interactive online introductory 2D modelling course run over two days.
TUFLOW is a world-leading, powerful 1D and 2D computational engine for simulating floods, tides and urban stormwater network hydraulics. It has been successfully applied world-wide to a diverse range of applications, scaling from regional whole-of-catchment flooding to fine-scale integrated catchment urban modelling.
This computer-based training is aimed at people who have not used TUFLOW previously. The course includes content focusing on 2D TUFLOW theory, followed by practical model creation and result viewing exercises using the free TUFLOW Plugin within QGIS.
No software licenses are required by the registrants. The model build examples will use free open source software (Notepad++ and QGIS). The TUFLOW simulation will use TUFLOW’s free Demo Mode. The Demo Mode is identical to the paid TUFLOW license, though limited to a maximum of 100,000 2D cells. Software installation instructions will be provided one week prior to the event.

Modelling Unsteady Flow impacts, resulting in pipe bursts and implosions
In this course we’ll look at the phenomenon of water hammer, an unsteady transient process in pipe flow. Through two live and interactive sessions, we will discuss the physics of water hammer, how we can determine the magnitude of the transient pressures and options to mitigate these pressures.

In this course we will discuss how water hammer arises from the operation of pumps and valves, creating dangerously high and extremely low pressures.
Software
Temporary licenses for the transient analysis program SURGE, by KYPipe, will be provided for all registrants.
Surge is state-of-the-art transient analysis software. Surge provides an advanced graphical interface and allows an easy transition between steady-state and transient flow modeling. More than 40 years of extensive development brings an integrated surge analysis program that includes numerous advanced features and produces astonishingly fast analysis. Surge has been extensively tested and verified. It has been widely used by various industries, including applications at nuclear facilities. Several thousand software packages have been supplied to engineers worldwide.
Content and Delivery
Through an interactively guided case study, registrants will develop a computer model and simulate the effects of pump and valve operation on pressures and flows within a pump station and associated rising main. We will then discuss mitigation options and, again through interactive guidance, registrants will be able to assess their effect and learn to choose the most appropriate mitigation technique.
The first session will commence with a brief discussion of how water hammer arises and the basis of the SURGE program. We will then turn to setting up a data set within the SURGE model and running various scenarios such as pump start up, pump shut down, and pump trip to examine their effect on system characteristics.
In the second session we will examine various water hammer mitigation techniques. We will interactively model these using the data set developed in the first session to assess their effectiveness.
Format
The course is delivered in 10 units via the learning platform
2 live and interactive sessions of 2 hours over two weeks:
Thursday, 21 November, 10:30am (Sydney Time)
Thursday, 28 November, 10:30am (Sydney Time)
Sessions are recorded & uploaded to the learning platform (within 24hrs after session), if you cannot attend live.
This Year's Annual Blue Meets Green Event Will Address the Following Discussion:
Since its release in 2017, how well are stakeholders partnering to deliver on the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Integrated Water Management Framework for Victoria?
Are we seeing greater collaboration between landscape architects and the water industry to influence the water cycle around cities and towns to ensure that our communities are resilient and liveable, now and in the future?
How are we planning for integrated blue-green infrastructure?
State Library of Victoria, Corner Russell & La Trobe Streets, Melbourne VIC 3000
This year we're very excited to be joining forces with AWA to make this an even greater showcase of innovation and major contributions to the water industry! The 2019 Stormwater Victoria Awards will be presented at the Victoria Water Awards Luncheon to be held on Thursday, 5th December 2019.
