We are delighted to announce a series of new tools and enhancements for RiverFlow2D and OilFlow2D, which will be officially rolled out in 2025. These updates are designed to elevate functionality, improve performance, and provide an even better user experience.

To ensure you have access to these upcoming features and improvements, we strongly encourage all users to keep their maintenance plans up to date. Doing so will grant you seamless access to the latest tools, updates, and support resources.

Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to continuing to support your work with these cutting-edge advancements.

If you have any suggestions for improving our tools or ideas for new features you would like to see incorporated, we encourage you to share them with us.

RiverFlow2D Hydrodynamics

  • Control rules for weirs and gates. Will allow gate or weir operations based on user defined rules depending on water depth reaching certain threshold, and other conditions.

  • Radiation Boundary condition to improve imposing water surface elevations in coastal hydrodynamic applications.

  • Simplified 1D-2D component to consider small 1D streams within the 2D mesh.

UD Urban Drainage Module

  • Empirical discharge formulas to consider different storm sewer inlet types.

  • Polygon rainfall capture areas. Option to convey all rainfall amounts occurring on a user defined area to be linked to specific storm drain manholes.

MT Mud and Tailings Module

  • Culverts.

  • Simplified 1D-2D component to consider small 1D streams within the 2D mesh.

WQ Water Quality Module

  • Improved implementation of selected pollutants.

  • GPU version.

OilFlow2D

  • Seamless integration of overland spills with oil spreading on intersected water bodies.

  • Improved evaporation method for overland flow model.

  • Improved emulsification for oil on water model.

  • Multiple viscous fluid scenarios.

All Models and Modules

  • Optimized output files for smaller and faster output.

  • New graphic output window witn user selected options.

  • Faster models runs with console output.

  • Improved QGIS plugin error management.
