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 ...
An accelerated tool for flood modelling based on Iber
(MDPI, 2018)
[Abstract:] This paper presents Iber+, a new parallel code based on the numerical model Iber for two-dimensional (2D) flood inundation modelling. The new implementation, which is coded in C++ and takes advantage of the ...
Nonintrusive Method to Compute Water Discharge in Pipes with a Low Depth-to-Diameter Ratio Using Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry
(ASCE, 2015)
[Abstract] A nonintrusive method to calculate water depth and discharge in partially full pipes using data from a single ultrasonic Doppler velocimeter (UDV) profiler is presented. The position of the free surface is ...
Impact of Urban Growth and Changes in Land Use on River Flood Hazard in Villahermosa, Tabasco (Mexico)
(MDPI, 2019)
[Abstract:] The city of Villahermosa, a logistical center in the State of Tabasco’s economy, is affected by recurrent river floods. In this study, we analyzed the impact of two factors that are the most probable causes of ...
Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Compound Flooding in Coastal River Areas
(AGU Journals, 2021)
[Abstract] Flood assessment in coastal river areas is subject to complex dependencies and interactions between flood drivers. In addition, coastal areas are especially vulnerable to climate change, and thus its effects ...
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 ...
Modelling Weirs in Two-Dimensional Shallow Water Models
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] 2D models based on the shallow water equations are widely used in river hydraulics. However, these models can present deficiencies in those cases in which their intrinsic hypotheses are not fulfilled. One of ...
MERLIN: una nueva herramienta para la predicción del riesgo de inundaciones en la demarcación hidrográfica Galicia-Costa
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021)
[Resumen] Este artículo presenta MERLIN, una nueva herramienta para estimar el riesgo de inundaciones a partir de predicciones de caudales y calados en Áreas de Riesgo Potencial Significativo de Inundaciones (ARPSIS) de ...
