Course information

Description SFINCS

Compound flooding during extreme events can result in tremendous amounts of property damage and loss of life. Early warning systems and multi-hazard risk analysis can reduce these impacts. However, traditional approaches either do not involve relevant physics or are too computationally expensive to do so for large stretches of coastline. SFINCS (Super-Fast INundation of CoastS) is a new reduced-complexity engine recently developed by Deltares Netherlands that is capable of simulating compound flooding, including a high computational efficiency balanced with good accuracy. The model is shared open-source and the executable is open access available for anyone interested in quickly modelling coastal compound flooding.

Description course

In this course, attendees will be able to retrieve theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the SFINCS model. Attendees will get an overview of applications where the high computational speed is essential and understand the background of the formulations needed to simulate compound flooding. Moreover, attendees will know what the input and output look like, how this can be used to answer practical questions in research/consultancy, and how to create a model from scratch to simulate compound flooding.

Who should participate

This course is aimed at project engineers, researchers, PhD students with a basic background in programming (e.g. Matlab / Python / Fortran) and modelling.
