SFINCS v2.0.2 Blockhaus Release Q2 2023

2.0.2 Blockhaus release

The first official 2023 release of SFINCS for Q2, the v2.0.2 Blockhaus release, 'Smoothly cycling over challenges in compound flood modelling', is now available!

This contains open access to the source code from Github: https://github.com/Deltares/SFINCS/releases/tag/v2.0.2_Blockhaus_release.

As Windows executable:

As Docker container:

docker pull deltares/sfincs-cpu:sfincs-v2.0.2-Blockhaus-Release-Q2-2023

Changes:

The code consists of all functionality of the v2.0.0 release, with the following changes/additions:

Major changes:

• Potentially breaking change: flipped x&y coordinates in Netcdf map output to be Sgrid compliant. Note; might impact Matlab/Python post-processing scripts (fixed in new HydroMT-SFINCS release v1.1.0)
• Improved 2D component of advection scheme
• Option to include viscosity term in the momentum equation

Added functionality:

• Option to not use rainfall in spiderweb, keyword: usespwprecip = 0
• The x&y-coordinates of input weirfiles as snapped on grid internally in SFINCS are now written to the sfincs_his.nc file; structure_x, structure_y & structure_height
• Option to include viscosity, enabling running on theta=1.0, with viscosity = 1. The values 'nuvisc' will be automatically determined based on your grid resolution, and written to the log screen. Value can still be overruled by specifying 'nuvisc = value' directly, or increased with e.g. a factor 2 using 'nuviscdim = 2'.
• Save maximum velocity proxy (in m/s) on 'dtmaxout' interval: storevelmax = 1
• Save maximum flux (h * U in m^2/s) on 'dtmaxout' interval: storefluxmax = 1
• Save maximum discharge through drainage strucuture from 'drnfile' input on 'dthisout' interval: storeqdrain = 1

Other changes:

• Bugfix in weir formulation
• Updated documentation
• Added tests in skillbed report
• Compliance with new Python setup tools HydroMT-SFINCS release v1.1
