Tracing and visualisation of contributing water sources in a model of flood inundation: video supplement

These are video supplement files to Wilson & Coulthard (2021), produced using version 1.8f-WS of CAESAR-Lisflood software, available on Zenodo here. For a full description of the methodology and case studies, please refer to the paper which is available here: https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2021-340.

Video animations (no audio) for the following case studies are included:

1. Carlisle, United Kingdom (carlisleanimation-sourcetracing.avi and carlisleanimation-depthonly.avi):

• Simulation of the January 2005 flood event at the confluence of the Rivers Caldew, Petteril and Eden, using a 5 m grid.
• Both water source tracing and depth only versions are provided.
• In the water tracing version, blue colours represent flows from the River Eden, reds are from the River Petteril and greens are from the River Caldew; darker shades represent deeper water. Available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/xOtOi06cXvA
• In the depth only version, darker shades of blue represent deeper water, with no information about the water source in a grid cell. Available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/aFz-sPRGHVE

2. Avon-Heathcote estuary in Christchurch, New Zealand (avonheathcoteanimation.avi):

• Simulation for July 2017, which included a high flow event on 22 July, using a model grid of 10 m.
• Blue colours represent flows from tide, reds are from the River Avon and greens are from the Heathcote River; darker shades represent deeper water.

3. Amazon (amazonanimation.avi):

• Simulation at the confluence of the Solimões (mainstem Amazon) and Purus rivers in the central Amazon, Brazil, for the period of 1 October 2013 through December 2014, using a ~270 m model grid.
• Red colours are from the Solimões, green colours are from the Purus; darker shades represent deeper water.

4. Planar slope (planaranimation.avi):

• A simple test case consisting of a 2000 x 1000 m planar slope (0.001 m/m), with walls added at 250 m intervals across the slope, each of which has several gaps through which water can flow. Model grid was 5 m.
• Eight water sources were traced in total, with three visualised in the animation: red = source 2, green = source 4, blue = source 6. Depths are shown in the middle plot.
