VISJET & VISFLOOD: Software for environment hydraulic modeling & visualization
We present two general interactive PC-based modeling and visualization software systems developed for the study of two types of environmental water flows: buoyant jet mixing and urban drainage problems. VISJET (http://www.aoe-water.hku.hk/visjet) is arguably the most robust software with advanced graphics for the prediction of mixing and transport of effluent discharges into a stratified crossflow. The prediction engine is a Lagrangian model for buoyant jets with three-dimensional trajectories, and is based on extensive basic experiments and turbulence model calculations. It can be used in outfall design and environmental impact assessment, and as an educational or training tool. VISFLOOD (http://www.aoe-water.hku.hk/visflood) is based on the numerical solution of the Saint-Venant equations, and caters for the simulation of unsteady flood propagation in urban drainage systems. Both software systems are fully interactive with data interrogation; the 3D visualization is fully integrated with the model engine, and enables the user to appreciate the context of the problem in a most effective way. Both models have been well-validated against laboratory and field data, and have been applied to many actual engineering projects. This software product is an outcome of a grant by the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF). ; published_or_final_version
