(author), Pina, Rui (author), Van Assel, Johan (author), Bruni, G. (author), Murla Tuyls, Damian (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)Fractal analysis relies on scale invariance and the concept of fractal dimension enables one to characterize and quantify the space filled by a geometrical set exhibiting complex and tortuous patterns. Fractal tools have been widely used in hydrology but seldom in the specific context of urban hydrology. In this paper, fractal tools are used...journal article 2017

(author), Schertzer, D. (author), Willems, P. (author)Cities are particularly vulnerable to rainfall-generated floods that are typically characterised by their rapid onset and localised nature. This implies that precipitation and catchment information need to be available at high resolution to reliably predict hydrological response and potential flooding. On the contrary, urban areas constitute a...conference paper 2015

(author), Schertzer, D. (author), Willems, P. (author)In this study high resolution precipitation data are used, derived from polarimetric X-band radar at 100 m, 1 min resolution. The data are used to study the impact of different space-time resolutions of rainfall input on urban hydrodynamic modelling response for 9 storms, in 7 urban catchments. The results show that hydrodynamic response...conference paper 2015

(author), Ten Veldhuis, M.C. (author)Urban catchments are typically characterised by high spatial variability and fast runoff processes resulting in short response times. Hydrological analysis of such catchments requires high resolution precipitation and catchment information to properly represent catchment response. This study investigated the impact of rainfall input resolution...journal article 2015
