Coastal modelling for flood defence
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002This paper reviews practices and trends in hydrodynamic and statistical analyses and modelling in the Netherlands with regard to the risk of coastal flooding. We restrict ourselves to the physical phenomena of tides, storm surges and wind waves. We first give a brief outline of established policy in the Netherlands regarding accepted levels of risk of ...

. Compound flooding, where the combination or successive occurrence of two or more flood drivers leads to a greater impact, can exacerbate the adverse consequences of flooding, particularly in coastal–estuarine regions.

Coastal environmental degradation – or the reduction of the capacity of coastal environments to meet social and ecological objectives and needs – is both a driver and a consequence of climate-induced disasters. In the West African coastal areas of Cote d’

More than half of the world population lives in the coastal zone. As a result, coastal flooding is a major threat to human society. A flood from sea may be caused by a heavy storm (storm surge), a high tide, a tsunami, or a combination of them. Knowledge in costal processes and sea wave models enables engineers to design and manage effective costal ...

In many parts of the world, design standards now require the assessment of risks. Measures of risk are often qualitative, with descriptors such as “high,”“low,”“intolerable,” or “negligible.” The practitioner is thus left with the task of reconciling the qualitative assessment of risks with the quantitative demands of design.

Coastal Flood Frequency Modeling
2016Because of the complexity of flood forecasting, hydrological models and statistical models need to be developed for flood frequency analysis, and flood forecasting. In this chapter, the performance of LP3, GEV, PL and GP models was investigated for flood frequency analysis to find the most suitable flood frequency analysis method in the Oak Ridges ...

The formation of urban coastal flooding is mainly ruled by the interaction between rainfall-runoff and storm surge. This study aims to advance the understanding of coastal urban flood mechanism by developing an integrated modeling and multivariate ...

Flooding is a natural hazard that can be a not-too-threatening event or a deadly one. In more violent events, floodwaters may move in great volumes, driven by gravity, and rage through highly and densely populated regions or rural areas killing and injuring people, destroying homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure, and crops as the waters ...

Coastal Flooding Risk Assessment Through Artificial Intelligence
2021An effective system for forecasting coastal flooding due to wind waves is essential to prevent coastal risks. The forecast data provided by national and international agencies (i.e., ECMWF, NOAA, etc.) represent only the offshore condition and therefore additional numerical models, which take into account the several phenomena occurring in the ...
