Why

Moving from 1D to 2D lets me model complex floodplains, urban flooding, and pond hydrodynamics with spatial accuracy that 1D cannot capture.

Resources
Running Notes
  • Mesh resolution matters — break lines along roads & berms save you.
  • Diffusion wave vs. full momentum — pick based on your problem.
  • Always sanity-check with a simple 1D model first.
