A rapid flood inundation model for urban flood analyses. [PDF]
MethodsX, 2023 An efficient inundation model is required for flood early warning systems in urban areas. A 2D flood model uses a governing shallow water equation, and this model is computationally expensive despite benefiting from parallel computing techniques. As an alternative to conventional flood models, cellular automata (CA) and DEM-based models (DBMs) have ...

Laboratory modelling of urban flooding
Scientific Data, 2022 AbstractThis paper presents two datasets obtained from laboratory experiments of urban flooding in a street network performed at the University of Liège. The experimental model represents a part of a synthetic urban district that consists of three inlets, three outlets and several three- and four- branches crossroads.

Flood risk management through a resilience lens
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 To prevent floods from becoming disasters, social vulnerability must be integrated into flood risk management. This Comment advocates that the welfare of different societal groups should be included by adding recovery capacity, impacts of beyond-design ...

How urban form impacts flooding
Nature Communications, 2023 Abstract Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is known about the role of

Flood Risk and Control in Urban Underground Spaces with Extreme Rainfall [PDF]
Zhengzhou Daxue xuebao. Gongxue ban, 2023 Although plenty of studies have been carried out, waterlogging in urban areas is common. The frequent happening of flood inundation in urban underground spaces has great threat to the sustainable development of city and the life and property security of ...

Substantial increase in future fluvial flood risk projected in China’s major urban agglomerations
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Urban land will face high fluvial flood risk against the background of climate change and urban expansion. The effect of urban spatial expansion, instead of densification of assets within existing urban cells, on flood risk has rarely been reported. Here,

Urban Flood Disaster Control Based on Green-gray-blue Infrastructure Integration [PDF]
Zhengzhou Daxue xuebao. Gongxue ban, 2023 With the increasingly severe urban waterlogging situation, It was difficult for rainwater management with rainwater pipe network and other grey infrastructures for terminal rapid drainage to solve the problem of urban waterlogging fundamentally.
