Purpose
Keep environmental data preparation close to the numerical model so terrain, boundary, and hydraulic assumptions can be reproduced and revised.
Geospatial modelling / remote sensing / mesh preparation
Ostium
Ostium is a geospatial processing library for converting terrain, satellite, and hydrographic data into simulation-ready inputs for Torrentem.
- Status
- Research tooling
- Inputs
- SRTM, Sentinel, GIS layers, river networks
- Outputs
- Domains, boundaries, mesh fields, hydraulic parameters
Methods and Tools
- GIS and remote-sensing data normalization for terrain and channel information.
- Domain preparation for Torrentem meshes and boundary metadata.
- Parameter extraction for roughness, slope, extents, and hydrographic context.
Current Limitations
Workflows remain tied to research cases and data availability; interfaces are expected to change as Torrentem input formats mature.
Related Tools
Ostium sits upstream of Torrentem. Vadum and downstream notebooks can then inspect the simulation fields produced from those prepared domains.
