hydroMT plugin for sfincs models.
Project description
What is the HydroMT-SFINCS plugin?
HydroMT (Hydro Model Tools) is an open-source Python package that facilitates the process of building and analyzing spatial geoscientific models with a focus on water system models. It does so by automating the workflow to go from raw data to a complete model instance which is ready to run and to analyse model results once the simulation has finished. This plugin provides an implementation of the model API for the SFINCS model.
What is SFINCS?
SFINCS is Deltares’ new open-source reduced-complexity model designed for super-fast modelling of compound flooding events in a dynamic way! What HydroMT-SFINCS does provide is a powerful Python based set of tools to help you build and analyse the best possible SFINCS models! This HydroMT-SFINCS plugin does not include the SFINCS model or executable itself, for that see the SFINCS download portal or the source code repository on Github. For general documentation about the model, how to run it and what the input files are see the SFINCS documentation.
Why HydroMT-SFINCS?
Setting up hydrodynamic models typically requires many (manual) steps to process input data and might therefore be time consuming and hard to reproduce. Especially improving models based on global geospatial datasets, which are rapidly becoming available at increasingly high resolutions, might be challenging. HydroMT-SFINCS aims to make the model building process fast, modular and reproducible and to facilitate the analysis of SFINCS model results
How to use HydroMT-SFINCS?
The HydroMT-SFINCS plugin can be used as a command line + configuration file application, which provides commands to build, update the SFINCS model with a single line, or from python to exploit its rich interface. You can learn more about how to use HydroMT-SFINCS in its online documentation. For a smooth installing experience we recommend installing HydroMT-SFINCS and its dependencies from conda-forge in a clean environment, see installation guide.

How to contribute?
If you find any issues in the code or documentation feel free to leave an issue on the github issue tracker. You can find information about how to contribute to the HydroMT project at our contributing page.
HydroMT seeks active contribution from the (hydro) geoscientific community. So far, it has been developed and tested with a range of Deltares models, but we believe it is applicable to a much wider set of geoscientific models and are happy to discuss how it can be implemented for your model.
