In a recent flood study conducted in a municipality in northern Arizona the hydrologic analysis was performed using a FLO-2D model. FLO-2D software is a powerful tool that can generate 2-dimensional dynamic flood routing models that simulate channel flow, unconfined overland flow, and street flow. It can also simulate a flood over complex topography and roughness while reporting on volume conservation. The hydrologic analysis in our study includes four FLO-2D domains for the offsite watershed area and one FLO-2D domain for the onsite watershed area to accommodate varying grid sizes.
