flood routing has many applications in engineering projects and helps designers in understanding the flood flow characteristics in river flows. floods are taken unsteady flows that vary by time and location. equations governing unsteady flows in waterways are continuity and momentum equations which in case of one-dimensional flow the saint-venant hypothesis is considered. dynamic wave model as ...

The city of Mississauga has recently identified strategic growth areas where investments will be targeted for redevelopment and intensification projects. One of the growth areas has a history of flooding during major storm events. In order to redevelop this area, businesses and land owners need to prepare development proposals ensuring that appropriate flood proofing requirements have been achi...

The effects of climate change on sea levels and coastal flooding are some of the most prevailing issues in the engineering industry today. In this study, a comprehensive procedure for detailed analysis of flooding from the sea under climate change conditions in a localized area was developed and applied. Through hydrodynamic and statistical modeling, detailed analysis of flooding from sea level...

Flood disasters from dam breaks cause serious loss of human life and immense damage to infrastructure and economic stability. The application of Geographic Information System technology integrated with hydrological modeling for mapping flood-inundated areas and depth can play a momentous role in further minimizing the risk and possible damage. In the present study, base terrain data, hydrologic...

A devastating flood in Red River valley in 1997 emphasized the need to study the flood control measures in the Red River basin using state of the art modeling tools. The Red River and its floodplains can be modeled using one-dimensional, quasi two-dimensional or fully two-dimensional hydrodynamic models. Each modeling approach has its own advantages and limitations. The main purpose of this rep...
