Open Flood is an open source 3D flood simulation software that models flood prediction over various terrain, land use, and storm configurations. It is used by researchers and practitioners for flood risk analysis and mitigation planning.
Open Flood is an open source software for simulating flooding over terrain, land cover, and under variable storm conditions. It allows users to set up a 3D model of an area of interest, define relevant materials and parameters, set rainfall and hydrologic inputs, and run high fidelity physics-based simulations to observe flood progression and quantify flood risk.
Key features and capabilities include:
Open Flood generates high resolution spatiotemporal data quantifying flood risk that can support studies for floodplain mapping, dam and levee design, stormwater infrastructure planning, flood disaster response, and community resilience. The open source and flexible nature makes it accessible for students, researchers, government practitioners looking for an advanced flood modeling tool.
