Morris, M. (author)The overall objective of Task 30 is to support the communication of the findings of the whole FLOODsite project and to promote uptake of the FLOODsite framework and methodologies by the three main target groups: public, professional and educational. The specific objective of Task 30 is to enhance uptake through the adoption of a Web-enabled...report 2006

Lumbroso, D. (author)Evacuation is a response to the immediate or forecast threat of flooding that is expected to pose a risk to life, health or well-being. It involves people moving from their houses or places of business to safe locations, out of the flood risk area where they are able to shelter until it is possible and appropriate for them to return. This...report 2007

Kuze, T.. Helmuth, O.; Görner, C.; Bernhover, C. (author)A series of sensitivity studies have been performed to estimate the impact of presumed global warming on synoptic scale weather events. Within the framework of an epignostic study, mesoscale simulations of the Elbe river flood (August, 2002) employing the COSMO-DE model of the DWD have been carried out. The first set of runs was realised on a...report 2008

Van Mierlo, T. (author)This document can be considered as a kind of cookbook for preparing flood maps. The cookbook was made in the framework of the PPA04/SK/8/13 project entitled Determination of inundation area. The project focussed on the transfer of knowledge in the field of preparing flood maps as required in the Slovak Water Act and resorts under the EVD....report 2009

Priest, S. (author)A methodology has been developed to estimate loss of life from flood events. In order to reduce the risk to life it is necessary to understand the causes of loss of life in floods and what kind of intervention and flood risk management measures may be effective in eliminating or reducing these losses. Data on flood events were gathered from 25...report 2009

Geisenhainer, P. (author)This report describes small-scaled experiments performed at Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, Technical University Braunschweig (LWI). The experiments have been conducted to investigate the development of dike breaches in homogeneous sand dikes with and without a clay layer. The used scaling factor was 1:10.The...report 2009

Hassan, M. (author)The IMPACT Project (www.impact-project.net) provided valuable data on breach formation processes. Five large scale field tests were performed in Norway, and a further 22 laboratory tests were performed in the UK. A review of this data has been undertaken to support breach model testing and development under Task 6.report 2009

Morris, M. (author), Hassan, M. (author), Kortenhaus, A. (author), Visser, P. (author)This report provides an overview of the state of the art with regards to embankment breach initiation and formation processes. Basic breach formation processes are explained, including a review of commonly held misconceptions. The different stages of breach initiation and formation are also explained, along with the varying needs of different...report 2009

Tapsell, S. (author)Task 10 focuses on developing innovative methods to understand, model and evaluate socio-economic and ecological flood damages. The four main activities within the Task are: building a model to estimate risk to life modelling the damage-reducing effects of flood warnings toxic stress and use of the OMEGA modelling framework to predict...report 2009

Husrin, S. (author)Results showed that the existing model on erosion of clay with water-filled cracks (Führböters theory) which only considers cohesion as the soil strength is only applicable for certain conditions. The model should consider other resistant forces such as soil weight and pore pressures. From the tests on clay without water-filled cracks, it...report 2009

This report aims to provide a comprehensive reference of flood inundation models for the flood manager. We begin by describing the processes important for flood propagation, the equations for modelling these processes, the simplifications and assumptions. Examples of each type of model are given, the limits and capabilities of each model or...report 2009

Wijdeveld, A. (author)Flooding not only induces a risk which is related to direct loss of life for humans, animals and plants. During flooding, toxicants which are normally stored or otherwise unavailable might be released. The spreading of these pollutants during the flooding or, often more important, the persistent presence of toxicants in the soil or sediment...report 2009

Van den Bergh, J. (author)Around 2004 the annual energy consumption of the Dutch (petro-)chemical industry was estimated to be 460 PJ of which 200 PJ could be allocated to separation processes [1]. In 2009, 15% of the global energy consumption was required for separation and purification processes to produce commodities. Moreover, it is expected that in 2040 the global...doctoral thesis 2010

(author), Mohd Shafian, SR (author), Kamarul Bahrim, RZ (author)Foam can increase sweep efficiency within a porous medium, which is useful for oil-recovery processes[1]. The flow of foam in porous media is a complex process that depends on properties like permeability, porosity and surface chemistry, but also temperature. Although the surface activity of surfactants as a function of temperature is well...journal article 2016
