- Detailed hydraulic models are used in flood simulation and forecasting, but are extremely computationally intensive, which led to simplified topography and physics. This paper demonstrates problems associated with this and describes a novel approach to avoid simplification. The open-source software produced remains the only flood simulation software capable of running on multiple clusters of high-performance computing hardware, with graphical or central processors, or combinations of these. Led to a collaborative project on improving hyper-scale feature representation with Newcastle City Council under the Urban Observatories (EP/P016782/1). Software since used in: Flood-PREPARED (NE/P017134/1); TENDERLY and SINATRA (NE/K008781/1); meteo-tsunami projects (IE131297); PYRAMID (NE/V00378X/1).
