pydrever

A toolbox for analysis of dike revetments and erosion.

Features

Pydrever exposes tools that can help assessing the safety of dikes. The toolbox contains a toolset for those interested in failure of the dike revetment and erosion of the core of the dike or levee thereafter. As such, pydrever amongst others offers a python interface to the C# based DiKErnel with which the amount of damage to the revetment of a dike during a storm can be calculated.

The main structure of the toolbox contains 4 packages:

1. pydrever.data, providing data classes that can be used to handle die schematizations, calculation input and output or to schematize storm surges.
2. pydrever.io, providinga reader for *.prfl files.
3. pydrever.calculation, primarily exposing DiKErnel.
4. pydrever.visualization, containing various functions that draw standard figures based on calculation input or results.

How to install the toolbox?

The package is available at pip. To install the package, run:

'pip install pydrever'

Where to find information about pydrever?

Full documentation of the toolbox still needs to be created. However, the repository already contains several tests and examples (in the form of Jupyter notebooks) that show how to use the toolbox in different ways:

• Basic use
• Elaborate use (including settings)
• Sensitivity analysis
