HYDRO_AS-2D is a versatile and reliable software for the 2D simulation of flowing waters and the surface runoff of precipitation. It is based on the numerical solution of the shallow water equations using the Finite-Volume-Method.

HYDRO_AS-2D provides script-driven simulations: Thus, model data can be changed, queried, output or read in during the simulation. Thus, very complex control processes can be modeled in water management systems.

HYDRO_AS-2D has a wide range of applications including:

• River flooding analysis
• Heavy rainfall analysis/ urban flash flood modelling
• Sediment erosion/depositions studies in river channels and floodplains
• Tidal wave propagation
• Pollutant dispersion in a waterway

With HYDRO_AS-2D you can replicate very complex control processes in water management systems. The current version offers script-controlled simulations: Thus, model data can be changed, queried, exported or imported during the calculation. The technical basis is the widely used scripting language „Lua“.

HYDRO_AS-2D thus provides a foundation on which users can creatively develop their own new applications.

For example:

• Control systems for weirs, sulices, etc.
• Automatic reading of inflow time series
• Bidirectional interaction with other models (groundwater, sewer network models)
• Simulate dike or dam breaches

Hydrotec is a consulting firm focusing on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative aspects of water resources systems and environmental issues as well as data ascertainment, planning of water resources management projects, project management, public relations and the development and marketing of water resources management software.

Hydrotec develops and distributes complex and powerful simulation models and software tools. With many years of experience in geographical information systems and data base systems we have evolved into experts in the application of these tools to the discipline of water resources management.

Founded in 1981 Hydrotec today has about 55 employees in its two offices in Germany. The Hydrotec team includes highly qualified civil engineers, geographers, physicists, biologists, mathematicians and computer scientists. The wide range of knowledge facilitates interdisciplinary work and is frequently complemented by partnerships with other consulting firms.
