Abstract
Rapid Infrastructure Flood Tool (RIFT) is a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model based on the complete shallow water equations. RIFT has specifically been designed with rapid simulation in mind by utilizing commodity high performance computing technology and best-available nation-wide data. RIFT is used to predict the movement of water over land and resolve the spatial and temporal variability of flood depths, extent, and velocity. RIFT can be applied to many flood situations and has primarily been used to quantify flood extents from dam/levee failure or inland rainfall flooding.
