BREACH HYDRO - Water Balance Suite for Stochastic Dam Break
Welcome to the landing page for Breach Hydro, a software suite including Breacher and Breacher-Post, water balance and analysis engines for the 2024-01-beta.01 release.
The Breach Hydro beta release is available, and free, on request until December 2024.
Please read the SLA and Manual before proceeding with the software.
Breacher
Breacher is a water balance model, validated to replicate the breach progression and outflow hydrograph of the HEC-RAS dam break solver.
Breacher has been developed to be a text file based solver, simulated with batch (.bat) files to allow for rapid simulations, with benchmarks typically between 0.01 to 0.05 seconds per run on cheap laptops and modelling machines.
Breacher-Post
Included in the suite is Breacher-Post, a windows-based application to allow for reviewing and performing analytics on Breacher results. Ultimately this is to help the user with decision making around suitable parameters and uncertainties / confidence ranges.
Five (5) methods for cutting the data from the summary.bsf have been included in Breacher-Post.
