SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires rasterio, pyproj, geopandas, xarray, numpy, netCDF4, matplotlib, pandas, shapely.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates end-to-end 2D flood simulations using the SFINCS solver, enabling autonomous domain preparation, forcing conversion, boundary coupling, execution, and post-processing within HydroCraft pipelines for Earth-system basins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates domain setup, topography/topobathy generation, roughness mapping, forcing preparation, and hydraulic structure integration.
  • Provides a reproducible, end-to-end workflow for coastal, fluvial, and compound flood scenarios, including preflight checks and post-processing.
  • Typical usage includes running a full pipeline from DEMs and climate forcing to flood maps and statistics for risk assessment.

Quick Start

Execute the SFINCS knowledge workflow to initialize the pipeline, then run the end-to-end model sequence using the Skill's orchestration.

Frequently Asked Questions about SFINCS v2.x — Knowledge Infrastructure

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate SFINCS flood modeling workflows from DEM data to flood risk maps?▼

Automate SFINCS flood modeling by orchestrating domain setup, forcing conversion, and hydraulic structure integration from DEMs to generate flood maps and statistics for risk assessment reproducibly.

Can I run compound flood simulations with both precipitation and water level boundaries?▼

Compound flood simulations support diverse forcing regimes including boundary discharge, water level boundaries, and precipitation-driven events, enabling coastal, fluvial, and compound flood scenario modeling.

What preflight checks are needed for coastal hydraulics simulations using SFINCS?▼

Coastal hydraulics preflight checks include CFL-based dt calculation, unit conversions, I/O checks, and diagnostic triplets to validate inputs before executing the SFINCS solver.

Does this flood modeling workflow require geopandas and rasterio for topobathy generation?▼

Flood modeling requires geopandas, rasterio, xarray, numpy, and netCDF4 to process topography, topobathy generation, roughness mapping, and climate forcing data for Earth-system basin simulations.

Why do my SFINCS simulations fail during boundary coupling and forcing preparation?▼

SFINCS simulations may fail during boundary coupling if preflight validation detects incorrect unit conversions, invalid I/O formats, or unstable CFL-based dt calculations before execution.

What is the best way to set up SFINCS domain preparation for inland and coastal basins?▼

Set up SFINCS domain preparation by automating topography generation, roughness mapping, and boundary coupling within HydroCraft pipelines to achieve autonomous end-to-end flood simulation for inland and coastal basins.
