The modelling and management of flood risk in urban areas are increasingly recognized as
global challenges. The complexity of these issues is a consequence of the existence of …

Irrespective of the magnitude and spatial extend, the consequences of a natural hazard are
strongly connected to the vulnerability of elements at risk (eg people, buildings and …

In our era, the rapid increase of parallel programming coupled with high‐performance
computing (HPC) facilities allows for the use of two‐dimensional shallow water equation (2D …

Flash flood is among the most catastrophic natural hazards which causes disruption in the
environment and societies. Flash flood is mainly initiated by intense rainfall, and due to its …

To prepare for upcoming extreme events, decision makers, scientists and other stakeholders
require a thorough understanding of the vulnerability of the built environment to natural …

Flood hazard in urban areas is usually assessed by the estimations of parameters like flood
extent, water depths, flow velocities and other related quantities. These hydrodynamic …

Flood hazard is increasing in frequency and magnitude in major South East Asian
metropolitan areas due to fast urban development and changes in climate, threatening …

Vulnerability analysis is crucial to assess natural hazard risk. Methods for vulnerability
assessment include indices as well as vulnerability curves. Vulnerability curves make use of …

Floods are one of the most frequent, dangerous natural disasters globally. During the period
from 1990 to 2020, more than 50% of the world's recorded disasters were related to floods …

The application of two-dimensional shallow-water equations models (2D-SWEs) for the
description of hydrodynamic-based surface runoff computations is becoming a reference …
