A Network Percolation-based Contagion Model of Flood Propagation and Recession in Urban Road Networks [PDF]
Sci Rep 10, 13481 (2020), 2020 In this study, we propose a contagion model as a simple and powerful mathematical approach for predicting the spatial spread and temporal evolution of the onset and recession of flood waters in urban road networks. A network of urban roads resilient to flooding events is essential for provision of public services and for emergency response.
