CASE STUDY: HIGH-PERFORMANCE NUMERICAL MODELS FOR LARGE SCALE FLOOD INUNDATION PROBLEMS

Alireza Shamkhalchian devoted his PhD on the computational simulation of (in particular high-scale) flood inundation problems, where the simulations are a powerful tool for the risk mapping of floods as a central part of decision-making in the field of environmental management. The motivation of his research can be described as follows. Over the past decades …

Upscaling the shallow water equations for fast flood modelling

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00221686.2020.1818316 Alireza Shamkhalchian &Gustavo A. M. De Almeida Received 04 Dec 2019, Accepted 19 Aug 2020, Published online: 24 Dec 2020 Journal of Hydraulic Research Abstract This paper presents a new sub-grid flood inundation model aimed at high computational performance. The model solves the two-dimensional shallow water equations (SWE) by a Godunov-type finite volume (FV) method …
