Iber applications basic guide: Two-dimensional modelling of free surface shallow water flows

Abstract

[Abstract] Iber is a software package for simulating unsteady free-surface turbulent flow and transport processes in shallow water flows. This is a basic tutorial of Iber, aimed at new users who want to acquire a basic knowledge of the software. It is not intended to cover all the software’s capabilities, but rather to give a flavour of the typical applications of Iber and its main elements, so that new users can evaluate whether the software is appropriate for their needs.
