Delft3D D-Flow Flexible Mesh Simple Example

This repository provides a public domain example of a quick and simple flume study, based on the experimental setup used in [1].

Usage

Assuming a compiled version of the Delft3D FM software is found on some path \path\to\Delft3D, and the flume example has been downloaded to, for instance, \path\to\dflowfm-flume, then this example can be executed as follows (using a Windows Powershell prompt):

PS > cd \path\to\dflowfm-flume\FlowFM\input
PS > & '\path\to\Delft3D\src\bin\x64\dflowfm\scripts\run_dflowfm.bat' .\FlowFM.mdu
