The Hydrologic Engineering Centre-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), developed by the
US Army Corps of Engineers, is one of the most known, analyzed and used model for flood …

Catastrophic failure of dam structures has often led to severe consequences. The colossal
wave receding at a higher velocity from the sudden failure of the dams may obliterate the …

Flood hazard mapping is a topic of increasing interest involving several aspects in which a
series of progress steps have occurred in recent years. Among these, a valuable advance …

D representations of flood inundation through emerging formats in virtual and augmented
realities may be a powerful tool with which to interact with political decision-makers and to …

The development of a shared understanding of current flood risk amongst stakeholders is
one of the main goals of flood risk management. This priority suggests that stakeholders …

Abstract The Shallow Water Equations (SWE) are a time-dependent system of non-linear
partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. Flood propagation in rivers and in the …

Reconstructions of the most severe historic flood events contribute to improved
quantification of design discharges corresponding to large return periods. Reducing the …

The increasing availability of high-resolution terrain data fostered the development of two-
dimensional hydrodynamic-based surface runoff models at basin scale, for flood hazard …

Flood propagation in rivers is strongly influenced by the presence of bridges and other
hydraulic structures. Among the available approaches for including these elements in …

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 …
