Vertically Averaged and Moment Equations for Dam-Break Wave Modeling: Shallow Water Hypotheses
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The dam-break wave modeling technology relies upon the so-called shallow water equations (SWE), i.e., mass and momentum vertically averaged equations by implementing the shallow water hypotheses, namely (i) ...
Modelling Pluvial Flooding in Urban Areas Coupling the Models Iber and SWMM
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Dual urban drainage models allow users to simulate pluvial urban flooding by analysing the interaction between the sewer network (minor drainage system) and the overland flow (major drainage system). This work ...
Rainwater Harvesting Techniques to Face Water Scarcity in African Drylands: Hydrological Efficiency Assessment
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The sub-Saharan climate is experiencing a marked increase in temperature and intensification of precipitation intensity and variability. Besides, longer dry spells are compromising the reliability of local ...
IberWQ: A GPU Accelerated Tool for 2D Water Quality Modeling in Rivers and Estuaries
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Numerical models are useful tools to analyze water quality by computing the concentration of physical, chemical and biological parameters. The present work introduces a two-dimensional depth-averaged model that ...
An Augmented Reality Facility to Run Hybrid Physical-Numerical Flood Models
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This article presents a novel installation for the development of hybrid physical-numerical flood models in an augmented reality environment. This installation extends the concept introduced by the well-known ...
MERLIN: a flood hazard forecasting system for coastal river reaches
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] This study presents MERLIN, an innovative flood hazard forecasting system for predicting discharges and water levels at flood prone areas of coastal catchments. Discharge forecasts are preceded by a hindcast ...
A robust method to update local river inundation maps using global climate model output and weather typing based statistical downscaling
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] Global warming is changing the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events. This requires updating local rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves and flood hazard maps according to the ...
