Gentle backwater in a channel
A1F-001
#14= 0.085 % off
of 15 models
• Average depth error 0.77 mm off; · Water conserved 0.065 % error
Dam break onto dry ground
A1F-010
#14= 28 % off
of 20 models
• Flood front 105 m behind exact; · Water conserved 0.53 % error

The local-inertia scheme leaves out the advection term, so it is not expected to get a dam break right; it is shown because it is what most LISFLOOD-FP users run.

Dam break into shallow water
A1F-011
#14= 3.2 % off
of 20 models
• Average depth error 1.7 cm off; · Water conserved 0.011 % error

The local-inertia scheme leaves out the advection term, so it cannot form the right bore; it is shown because it is what most LISFLOOD-FP users run.

Calm flow over a hump
A1F-040
#8 64 % off
of 12 models
• Average depth error 67 cm off; • Average flow error 2.82 m²/s off
Flow speeding up over a hump
A1F-041
#7= 50 % off
of 12 models
• Average depth error 32 cm off; • Average flow error 0.585 m²/s off
Hump with a hydraulic jump
A1F-042
#8 61 % off
of 12 models
• Average depth error 8.5 cm off; • Average flow error 0.11 m²/s off
Still lake around an island
A1F-043
#1= under 0.01 % off
of 13 models
• Worst velocity error 0 m/s off; • Average depth error < 0.0001 mm off
Water sloshing in a bowl
A2A-001
#8 0.42 % off
of 9 models
• Average depth error 0.14 mm off; · Water conserved < 0.0001 % error
Steady flow over a shaped bed
A2A-010
#10= 0.082 % off
of 12 models
• Average depth error 0.74 mm off; · Water conserved 0.056 % error
Flooding a cut-off pond
A2C-EA1
#5= 2.1 % off
of 10 models
• Pond level, point 1 5.3 mm off; • Pond level, point 2 5.3 mm off; • Peak level 0.091 mm off

The pond settles 5 mm above the sill. The stored volume is 2.7 % above the figure integrated on the EA's 2 m DEM; that check does not gate, because a 10 m grid samples the ground differently.
