Abstract High‐resolution data obtained from airborne remote sensing is increasing opportunities for representation of small‐scale structural elements (e.g. walls, buildings) in complex floodplain systems using two‐dimensional (2D) models flood inundation. At the same time, 2D inundation have been developed and shown to provide good predictions extent, with respect both full solution depth‐averaged Navier–Stokes equations simplified diffusion‐wave models. However, these yet be applied...
Abstract This paper uses numerical simulation of flood inundation based on a coupled one‐dimensional–two‐dimensional treatment to explore the impacts upon extent both long‐term climate changes, predicted 2050s and 2080s, short‐term river channel changes in response sediment delivery, for temperate upland gravel‐bed river. Results show that 16 months measured in‐channel sedimentation an cause about half increase was simulated arise from change. Consideration joint change emphasized non‐linear...
Abstract A much understudied aspect of flood inundation is examined, i.e. upland environments with topographically complex floodplains. Although the presence high‐resolution topographic data (e.g. lidar) has improved quality river predictions, optimum dimensionality hydraulic models for this purpose yet to be fully evaluated situations both and topological (i.e. connectivity floodplain features) complexity. In paper, we present comparison three treatments using: (a) a one‐dimensional (1D)...
This paper describes the development of a method that couples flood modelling with network analysis to evaluate accessibility city districts by emergency responders during events. We integrate numerical inundation geographical service areas for Ambulance Service and Fire & Rescue Service. The was demonstrated two events in City York, UK assess vulnerability care homes sheltered accommodation. determine feasibility services gaining access within statutory 8- 10-min targets high-priority,...
This paper examines the phenomena of online crowdsourcing from perspectives both volunteers and campaign coordinator Tomnod – an mapping project that uses to identify objects places in satellite images. A mixed-methods approach was used study enablers barriers participation, taking into consideration whole spectrum volunteers. The results show broad diversity volunteers, their demographics factors affecting voluntary participation. majority are older than 50 years many particularly most...
Abstract In this paper, we describe a new method of modeling coastal inundation arising from storm surge by coupling widely used model (ADCIRC) and an urban flood (FloodMap). This is the first time such models implemented tested using real events. The offers flexible efficient procedure for applying detailed ADCIRC results along boundary (with typical resolution ∼100 m) to FloodMap fine (<5 m). during Hurricane Sandy was simulated at both city (New York City) subregional (lower Manhattan)...
Abstract. Flash floods have occurred frequently in the urban areas of southern China. An effective process-oriented flood inundation model is urgently needed for storm-water and emergency management. This study develops an efficient flexible cellular automaton (CA) to simulate runoff process during extreme storm events. The infiltration, inlets discharge flow dynamics can be simulated with little preprocessing on commonly available basic geographic data. In this model, a set gravitational...
Abstract Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding reliance on flood defenses for cities built deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis with hydrodynamic modeling quantify effect projected relative SLR dike failures hazards Shanghai, one most exposed delta cities. We find that inundation is likely occur in low‐lying poorly protected periurban/rural areas city even under present‐day sea level. However, without adaptation measures, increases by a...
Abstract. Emergency responders often have to operate and respond emergency situations during dynamic weather conditions, including floods. This paper demonstrates a novel method using existing tools datasets evaluate responder accessibility flood events within the city of Leicester, UK. Accessibility was quantified 8 10 min legislative targets for provision ambulance fire rescue services respectively under "normal" no-flood as well scenarios various magnitudes (1 in 20-year, 1 100-year...
Surface water and surface related flood modelling at the city-scale is challenging due to a range of factors including availability subsurface data difficulty in deriving runoff inputs surcharge for individual storm sewer inlets. Most research undertaken so far has been focusing on local-scale predictions induced flooding, using 1D/1D or 1D/2D coupled flow model. In this study, we describe application an urban hydro-inundation model (FloodMap-HydroInundation2D) simulate flooding arising from...
Abstract Intensification of short‐duration rainfall extremes contributes to increased urban flood risk. Yet, it remains unclear how upper‐tail statistics could change with regional warming. Here, we characterize the non‐stationarity over durations 1–24 hr for rapidly developing coastal megalopolis Greater Bay Area, China. Using high‐resolution, multi‐source, merged and gridded data observe greater increases in intensities north‐central part region compared southern region. Our results show,...
