Hydrodynamic Flood Inundation Modeling – An Introduction to TRITON
Day 3 Session 1 (10:30 PM)
Presenters:
Mariam Khanam, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Sudershan Gangrade, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
This hands-on workshop will introduce TRITON (Two-dimensional Runoff Inundation Toolkit for Operational Needs), an open-source 2D hydrodynamic model for simulating flood wave propagation and surface inundation. Participants will gain an overview of TRITON’s capabilities and receive guidance on installation, setup, and execution of simulations for relevant test cases. Additionally, attendees will learn to analyze outputs and visualize results from TRITON.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the fundamentals of TRITON’s hydrodynamic modeling approach and applications.
- Gain hands-on experience in configuring and executing, as well as using pre- and post-processing tools.
- Learn techniques for analyzing and visualizing TRITON outputs, including water depth and discharge maps.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge:
- Basic understanding of hydrodynamic modeling.
- Fundamental knowledge of programming, Unix/Linux and GIS
Hardware/Software:
- Docker Desktop
- GIS Software, such as ArcGIS or QGIS
- (Optional) Python for visualization
- TRITON source code, pre-designed test cases, and example inputs (such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), runoff and streamflow timeseries, and configuration files) are available from the Git Repository
