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 …

The Hydrologic Engineering Centre-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), developed by the
US Army Corps of Engineers, is one of the most known, analyzed and used model for flood …

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 mapping is a topic of increasing interest involving several aspects in which a
series of progress steps have occurred in recent years. Among these, a valuable advance …

Post event flooding maps are currently extracted from synthetic‐aperture radar (SAR) and/or
optical satellite images or developing using hydraulic model simulations. Several sources of …

Abstract The Shallow Water Equations (SWE) are a time-dependent system of non-linear
partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. Flood propagation in rivers and in the …

Nowadays, the use of 2-D fully dynamic models represents the most reliable approach for
flood inundation and flood hazard studies, especially in complex applications. However, 1-D …

Flood management activities require development of flood maps that depict the spatial and
temporal extent of floods with the help of hydrodynamic models. Two‐dimensional (2‐D) …

Reliable real-time probabilistic flood forecasting is critical for effective water management
and flood protection all over the world. In this study, we develop a real-time probabilistic …

The description of the floods which have occurred in the past and an assessment of the
adverse impacts they have entailed are among the duties required by the European Flood …
