Usage

This section follows the order in which a model is built and used. Each subsection corresponds to one working step:

  1. aXqua case setup describes the free-surface water body and the modeling task in a case file.

  2. Preprocessing converts the case into a computational mesh and the input files of the simulation codes.

  3. Hydraulic simulations computes water depths and flow velocities, first with TELEMAC and optionally with OpenFOAM.

  4. Mesh convergence determines the mesh resolution that the results require.

  5. Morphodynamic simulations adds sediment transport and riverbed change.

  6. Calibration & validation adjusts uncertain parameters to field measurements and quantifies the remaining uncertainty.

  7. Postprocessing turns the results into maps and figures.

  8. Batch-processing (visual automation) runs several of these steps in sequence without supervision.
