Flood Modeller Pro is a computer program that simulates the flow of water through river channels and across floodplains using a range of one- and two-dimensional hydraulic solvers, developed by Jacobs. The software incorporates a user interface for building, running and viewing the results of models, including a GIS map interface. Flood Modeller Pro has a free counterpart (Flood Modeller Free), and is a part of the Flood Modeller Suite range of software products and web applications.

Flood Modeller Pro was unveiled 19 November 2014 at Jacobs' International Flood Management Conference in London.[1]

Flood Modeller Pro is Jacobs' next generation flood modelling software and is the successor to ISIS, which was in development for almost 40 years.

Solvers

1D solvers

Flood Modeller Pro includes steady-state and unsteady 1D solvers.

2D solvers

Flood Modeller Pro includes three different 2D solvers:

  • The ADI solver is based on the DIVAST numerical engine first developed in the 1980s, and is designed to simulate fluvial, overland, estuarine and coastal situations where flow does not rapidly change.[2]
  • The TVD solver is designed to better represent rapid changes in the water surface profile, but results in longer run-times.
  • The FAST solver uses simplified hydraulics to perform rapid assessments of flooding.[3][4]

Flood Cloud

Flood Cloud is an innovative service from Jacobs that enables users of Flood Modeller, TUFLOW and HEC-RAS to seamlessly undertake flood risk modelling, at any scale, in the cloud. Powered by the Parallel Works platform, Flood Cloud delivers the on demand computational resource required to deliver the step change needed for better information on flooding.
