FLO-2D is a 2D hydrological-hydraulic dynamic flood model that simulates channel flow, unconfined overland flow and street flow over complex topography. FLO-2D can simulate Newtonian and no-Newtonian flows over complex topography and roughness. FLO-2D is unique due to the capacity to simulate in only one system all the physical processes involved in a channel floodplain water exchange. FLO-2D is a model that uses the full dynamic wave momentum equation and a central finite difference routing scheme with eight potential flow directions to predict the progression of a flood hydrograph over a system of square grid elements estimating the hydraulic variables (depth, velocity and discharge) in a cell by cell basis.
