Council’s Flood Action Plan
1. Review of high risk area
2. Determine areas in need of update
3. Update existing OLF mapping
Using traditional modelling methods $$$
An innovative approach required
![Page 7: CITYWIDE CREEK & OVERLAND FLOW MODEL PROJECTriversymposium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/31.pdf · 2018-10-31 · •Broad scale urban overland flow path mapping. •Identification](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063002/5f3bf8dfaccb4e5f44111900/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Brief
1. Citywide 2D Hydrodynamic Model
2. Overland Flow & Creek
3. Account for underground drainage
4. Updateable and expandable
5. Sufficient for Development Assessment
![Page 8: CITYWIDE CREEK & OVERLAND FLOW MODEL PROJECTriversymposium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/31.pdf · 2018-10-31 · •Broad scale urban overland flow path mapping. •Identification](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063002/5f3bf8dfaccb4e5f44111900/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Challenge
• A need to map and understand overland flow &
stormwater flooding in major cities
• Very large areas, with very complicated overland
flow paths and stormwater networks
• Modelling the entire system using traditional
methods would require a lot of time, money and
data
![Page 9: CITYWIDE CREEK & OVERLAND FLOW MODEL PROJECTriversymposium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/31.pdf · 2018-10-31 · •Broad scale urban overland flow path mapping. •Identification](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022063002/5f3bf8dfaccb4e5f44111900/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The “Virtual Pipes” Method• A new methodology developed by GHD in conjunction with
BCC and the software vendor
• Allows simulation of stormwater systems in TUFLOW GPU
using a simplified approach
• Aims to provide a reasonable approximation of the
underground stormwater flows
• Greatly reduced data & time requirements, and greatly
increased modelling speed compared to traditional full 1D/2D
coupled models.

“Virtual Pipes Method”
• Stormwater inlets and outlets represented as points
in TUFLOW GIS layer (no pipes)
• Inlets are represented by depth vs discharge capture
curves
• Outlets are represented by point sources with a
specified maximum discharge capacity
• Within a pipe “group”, flows capture at inlets are
dynamically transferred to the outlets.

Traditional 1D Model Setup
All pits and pipes modelled.
Invert levels
Lengths
Manning’s n values
Pipe shapes
Linking between pipes
- Solves full 1D hydraulic equations at all pits and pipes
- Dynamic linking between 1D / 2D

Pre-Processing of Stormwater Data
• Multiple steps:
– Fix connectivity issues
– Identify pipe groups
– Identify inlets and outlets
– Assign inlet curves
– Estimate outlet discharge capacities (i.e.
Manning’s equation)

Strengths1. Very quick model set up times.
2. Relatively low data requirements:
• Can work with messy or incomplete GIS data
• Does not require invert level data
• Only needs pipe diameter information for the outlets
3. Leverages the advantages of TUFLOW GPU (large,
fast and detailed models).
4. Cost – can model an entire city for the cost of a single
catchment using traditional methods

Weaknesses & Limitations
• Simplified approach – treats stormwater systems as a
black box of inlets and outlets, and doesn’t solve full
hydraulic equations.
• Does not account for tail-water effects or backflow.
• Does not account for pipe flow lag times.
• If weaknesses are known and understood, they can be
accounted for and their effects can be minimised.

Potential Applications
• Broad scale urban overland flow path mapping.
• Identification of urban flooding hot spots & problem
areas.
• Better development that addresses urban flood risks.
• Rapid testing of stormwater infrastructure upgrades.
• Informing the public of potential urban flood risks.

Avoiding a flood of flood info………• “My property has never been flooded and I’ve been living since
the beginning of the time…..” – so your maps are wrong……..
• Are likelihoods the most palatable means of communication…..?

Conclusion
• Rapid, cost-effective alternative approach to full scale
1D / 2D modelling in certain situations.
• Can simultaneously achieve large scales, high detail
and low costs.
• Produces high-quality results if limitations are
understood and accounted for.
• Easy to understand coms approach to convey a
complex flood behaviour
