Flood hazard assessment is a fundamental step in flood risk mapping. Quantitative
assessment requires hydrodynamic modelling of the flooding process in order to calculate …

This paper presents a procedure based on high-resolution shallow water modelling for
assessing dam-failure hypothetical scenarios that can be useful for designing emergency …

At a global scale, delta morphologies are subject to rapid change as a result of direct and
indirect effects of human activity. This jeopardizes the ecosystem services of deltas …

Direct flood damage is commonly assessed using damage models (ie, vulnerability
functions and fragility curves), which describe the relationship between hazard, vulnerability …

In this paper, two emerging strategies for the reduction of the computational time of 2D large-
scale flood simulations are compared, with the aim of evaluating their strengths and …

The capability of a GPU-parallelized numerical scheme to perform accurate and fast
simulations of surface runoff in watersheds, exploiting high-resolution digital elevation …

In the framework of porosity models for large-scale urban floods, this work presents a
method to compute the spatial distribution of the porosity parameters of complex urban …

Probabilistic methods are widely adopted for residual flood hazard assessment in flood‐
prone areas protected by levees. Such methods can consider various sources of uncertainty …

Flood propagation in rivers is strongly influenced by the presence of bridges and other
hydraulic structures. Among the available approaches for including these elements in …

This paper shows a detailed, advanced procedure to implement cost–benefit analyses
(CBAs) in order to assess the effectiveness of flood mitigation measures. The town of Lodi …
