Course Overview#

The FLO-2D Coastal Training Course equips professionals with essential skills in coastal modeling using FLO-2D. The course focuses on simulating coastal processes, such as tides and storm surges, with an emphasis on flood risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Course Objectives#

  • Understand Coastal Hydrodynamics: Learn key coastal processes, including tides and storm surges.

  • Master FLO-2D Tools: Use specialized FLO-2D tools for coastal modeling, including complex urban scenarios.

  • Simulate Coastal Flooding: Model extreme weather events to assess flood risks.

  • Integrate Real-World Data: Apply topographic and meteorological data for accurate simulations.

  • Develop Mitigation Strategies: Use simulation results to plan effective flood mitigation.

Who Should Attend#

Ideal for engineers, planners, and scientists in coastal management, flood risk assessment, and disaster mitigation, this course provides valuable insights and practical experience with FLO-2D.

Prerequisites#

Basic knowledge of hydrology and hydraulic modeling is recommended, but not required. Familiarity with FLO-2D or similar modeling software is advantageous.

Course Materials#

Participants will receive comprehensive training materials, including user manuals, datasets, and hands-on videos.

Training Certificate#

The course spans approximately six hours, of hands-on exercises. Once finished, please submit your final summary.out file to FLO-2D staff for a Certificate of Completion.
