As a result of climate change, urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to flooding, which can
cause devastating effects, both in terms of loss of life and property. Therefore, an accurate …

Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to flood risks, which are exacerbated by the changing
climate. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on coastal flood risk …

Hydraulic models play an important role in determining flood inundation areas. When
considering a wide array of one‐(1D) and two‐dimensional (2D) hydraulic models, selecting …

Hydrodynamic models are commonly used to understand flood risk and inform flood
management decisions. However, their high computational cost can impose practical limits …

This work is related with the implementation of a finite volume method to solve the 2D
Shallow Water Equations on Graphic Processing Units (GPU). The strategy is fully oriented …

In this paper, two emerging strategies for the reduction of the computational time of 2D large-
scale flood simulations are compared, with the aim of evaluating their strengths and …

The challenge of finding a compromise between computational time and level of accuracy
and robustness has traditionally expanded the use simplified models rather than full two …

A mountain disaster chain is a complex system that consists of several sub-disasters and
can result in high casualties or serious economic loss. In this study of the mountain disaster …

Regular patterns, which are found in both natural and man-modified environments, are
strongly interwoven with free-surface flows. Examples are ridge and slough landscapes …

The capability of a GPU-parallelized numerical scheme to produce accurate and fast
simulations of floodings induced by levee breaches in large domains, adopting high …
