Flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. This case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. Therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. Considering the development in Iran has been carried out in high risk...

In this study, we use a lattice Boltzmann method with multi-relaxation-time model to simulate dam-break flooding in confluence channels four angles. Compared physical experiment, the simulation proves reliable. We analyze influence of angle on propagation flood. The stage hydrograph at area can be divided into stages: before wavefront reaches—rising rapidly—falling gradually—planarization perio...

flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. it however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. by simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. in this paper, the gen...

an efficient flood alarm system may significantly improve public safety and mitigate damages caused by inundation. flood forecasting is undoubtedly a challenging field of operational hydrology and a huge literature has been developed over the years. in this paper, we first define ordered ideal intuitionistic fuzzy sets and establish some results on them. then, we define similarity measures betw...

Improving the predictive capabilities of rainfall-runoff models in ungauged catchments is a challenging task but has important theoretical and practical significance. In this study, we investigated the predictive capabilities of the conceptual Xinanjiang model (XAJ), which is widely used for flood forecasting and simulation in China, in ungauged catchments. We further produced a hybrid rainfall...

a flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. this work  illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. in this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...

The question of whether or not soil hydraulic parameters of dualpermeability models (DPM) can be properly identified by inverse analysis of preferential water flow data has not been resolved to date. We applied a DPM based on two coupled Richards’ equations to compare the performance of inverse and forward simulations of laboratory preferential flow data. Infiltration and drainage experiments w...

Floodplains are composed of aquatic and terrestrial habitats that are frequently reshaped by hydrologic processes operating at various spatial and temporal scales. I hypothesized that floodplain habitat complexity is maximized at intermediate discharges because small changes in flow result in substantial aquatic habitat changes and extreme discharges are associated with a decreased habitat hete...
