As one of nature's most destructive calamities, floods cause fatalities, property destruction,
and infrastructure damage, affecting millions of people worldwide. Due to its ability to …

Flood hazard assessment is a fundamental step in flood risk mapping. Quantitative
assessment requires hydrodynamic modelling of the flooding process in order to calculate …

With the global climate change and the rapid urbanization process, there is an increase in
the risk of urban floods. Therefore, undertaking risk studies of urban floods, especially the …

This review provides a synthesis of advances in our understanding of urban flood processes
and their modelling over the last four years (2018–2021). Four aspects are covered …

This study focuses on scoring, selecting, and developing physical fragility (ie, the probability
of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state given a specific hazard intensity) and/or …

Coastal areas worldwide represent an aggregation of population and assets of growing
economic, geopolitical, and sociocultural significance, yet their functions are increasingly …

Flood hazard in urban areas is usually assessed by the estimations of parameters like flood
extent, water depths, flow velocities and other related quantities. These hydrodynamic …

Effective flood risk management requires a realistic estimation of flood losses. However,
available flood damage estimates are still characterized by significant levels of uncertainty …

Flood risk management generally relies on economic assessments performed by using flood
loss models of different complexity, ranging from simple univariable models to more complex …

Intense storm surge can lead to severe coastal floods. Flood inundation simulation is useful
to identify areas that are most vulnerable to severe storm surges and to address potential …
