TUFLOW FV Tutorial Models

Educators are welcome to create course content from this dataset. Alternatively, the TUFLOW Team have previously created 10 weeks worth of university teaching material, including 2 weeks worth of assessment, using the tutorial dataset for the guided modelling tasks. If you would like assistance creating similar teaching material please email training@tuflow.com.
