VEW Utils

VEW Utils is a Python and MATLAB package containing utilities for working with ADCIRC model files, post-processing results, and analyzing model outputs. It provides a collection of tools designed to simplify and enhance workflows for ADCIRC modelers, with specialized capabilities for generating and embedding channel meshes using Vertical Element Wall (VEW) techniques.

Features

  • Channel Paving: Tools for adding or editing 1D/2D channels in ADCIRC meshes using Vertical Element Wall (VEW) techniques

  • Mesh Management: Tools for manipulating ADCIRC meshes, including merging multiple meshes with VEW support

  • DEM Processing: Extract depths at nodes from Digital Elevation Models

  • Hydrology Boundary: Generate flow boundary conditions from USGS stations or NOAA National Water Model data

  • Nodal Attributes: Create nodal attribute values including Manning’s n from landuse data

  • Visualization: Tools for plotting ADCIRC simulation results and comparing with observations

  • Post-processing: Analysis of simulation results including difference computation

  • VEW Processing: Comprehensive tools for handling Vertical Element Wall features in ADCIRC meshes
