Modeling urban floods at submeter resolution:challenges or opportunities for flood risk management? [PDF]
In this study, we investigate the influence of fine-scale changes in the elevation of urban terrains on the dynamics and final distribution of flood inundation generated by intense rainfall. Numerical experiments have been performed combining two-dimensional
