TUFLOW FV (which stands for Two-dimensional Unsteady FLOW Finite Volume) is a flexible mesh finite volume numerical model that simulates hydrodynamic, sediment transport and water quality processes in oceans, coastal waters, estuaries and rivers. The model may be used for coastal and nearshore environments including beaches and coastlines as well as offshore environments such as estuaries, river entrances and deltas, and floodplains. Uses include modeling river flood flow, tsunami inundation (the finite-volume scheme is well suited for a tsunami's mixed sub/super-critical flow regimes), beach erosion, ocean pollution, and estuary flow.

Unlike the fixed square grids of TUFLOW Classic, the flexible triangular or quadrilateral mesh of TUFLOW FV allows users to modify mesh resolution spatially, seamlessly increasing the model resolution in areas of interest. This modelling approach reduces the number of computation cells needed in a model reducing run times. Additionally, TUFLOW FV can be run in parallel on multiple processors, threads, or computers.

The TUFLOW FV model can be added to a paid edition of SMS.
