The new RiverFlow2D Plastic Transportation (PT) module for QGIS GUI simulates the trajectory of plastics in water bodies. The PT module can be useful to understand, among other things, how current patterns affect the path of plastics or debris, and what are the potential areas of accumulation.

Why Choose RiverFlow2D PT for Plastic Transport Modeling?

  • Simulates the transport and trajectory of floating plastics and debris in rivers, estuaries, lakes, and coastal waters

  • Predicts plastic pathways based on time-varying flow fields and hydraulic conditions

  • Identifies potential accumulation zones and debris hotspots

  • Uses a fully coupled two-dimensional hydrodynamic model to accurately represent transport processes

  • Handles complex geometries through flexible, high-resolution computational meshes

  • Imports terrain elevation and bathymetric data from a wide variety of formats

  • Produces time-dependent animations and detailed maps of plastic transport and accumulation

  • Delivers exceptionally fast runtimes using GPU acceleration and cloud computing

  • Fully integrated with the QGIS graphical user interface

  • Includes online training and comprehensive technical support
