This paper presents a procedure based on high-resolution shallow water modelling for
assessing dam-failure hypothetical scenarios that can be useful for designing emergency …

Flood modeling by numerical solution of the two-dimensional (2D) shallow-water equations
is ordinary practice. HEC-RAS 2D was recently released along with a suite of test cases …

The European Programme Copernicus, one of the principal sources of free and open Earth
Observation (EO) data, intends to sustain social and economic advancements to the …

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of a possible dam failure under various
scenarios and to generate a flood hazard map for two consecutive dams located in a study …

The paper discusses a model which predicts the trajectory of floating rigid bodies and may
be applied to compute the motion of woody “debris” mobilized during floods. The model …

In the past, several authors have proposed methods to study the routing behaviour of a flood
caused by a sudden dam failure (dam-break). As regards, instead, the progressive failure of …

Water leakage detection in concrete gravity dams is an important task for surface freshwater
resources applications and management. The Flow-Field Fitting (FFF) method aims to detect …

The inundated area of dam and dike-break floods includes various types of land and
factories that release considerable amounts of pollutants into floods, causing serious water …

Abstract The Bric Zerbino and Sella Zerbino barrages dammed two branches of the Orba
Valley in Italy to create the Ortiglieto reservoir and supply the Molare hydropower plant. The …

In the spring of 1818, ice avalanches from the Giétro Glacier created an ice dam, which in
turn formed a glacial lake in the Drance Valley (Canton of Valais, Switzerland). Today, its …
