do Lago, Cesar A.F. (author), Giacomoni, Marcio H. (author), Bentivoglio, Roberto (author), Taormina, R. (author), Gomes, Marcus N. (author), Mendiondo, Eduardo M. (author)Two-dimensional hydrodynamic models are computationally expensive. This drawback can limit their application to solving problems requiring real-time predictions or several simulation runs. Although the literature presented improvements in using Deep Learning as an alternative to hydrodynamic models, Artificial Neural Networks applications for...journal article 2023

Evans, Barry (author), Lam, Arthur (author), West, Charles (author), Ahmadian, Reza (author), Djordjević, Slobodan (author), Chen, Albert (author), Pregnolato, M. (author)With the increase of the frequency and severity of flooding events, coupled with population growth, the risks posed to people from flooding is ever more apparent. This paper proposes a methodology to examine the risks posed to vehicles' occupants and pedestrians simultaneously in an urban context. Through considering stability functions of a...journal article 2023

Bellos, Vasilis (author), Kourtis, Ioannis (author), Raptaki, Eirini (author), Handrinos, S. (author), Kalogiros, John (author), Sibetheros, Ioannis A. (author), Tsihrintzis, Vassilios A. (author)The present work deals with the reconstruction of the flood wave that hit Mandra town (Athens, Greece) on 15 November 2017, using the framework of forensic hydrology. The flash flood event was caused by a huge storm event with a high level of spatial and temporal variability, which was part of the Medicane Numa-Zenon. The reconstruction...journal article 2022

Mokkenstorm, Lone C. (author), van den Homberg, Marc J.C. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Persson, Andreas (author)Detecting and forecasting riverine floods is of paramount importance for adequate disaster risk management and humanitarian response. However, this is challenging in data-scarce and ungauged river basins in developing countries. Satellite remote sensing data offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to the limited in-situ data when...journal article 2021

Yin, Jiangshan (author)As a low-lying city, Shanghai faces threats from typhoon and spring tide under the condition of climate change and land subsidence. With high water level at the toe, the sea embankment is likely to be overtopped and breached, finally resulting in inundation inland. The objective of this research is to study climate change...master thesis 2020

Tjia, Jacintha (author)This research assesses the impact of plastic waste accumulation on flood events with citizen observations in Kumasi, Ghana. In Kumasi, the fastest growing city in Ghana, flooding events have become more intense due to rapid urbanisation and land use intensification. Additionally, rapid population growth, urbanisation and lack of organised waste...master thesis 2020

Kallioras, Athanasios (author)Shanghai is one of the numerous megacities worldwide that experience severe flood events triggered by torrential rainfall. To deal with the undesirable consequences of these events and mitigate the flood hazard, the research of flood reduction measures is necessary. In this effort, the hydrodynamic modelling is a useful tool.<br/>In this master...master thesis 2020

Elfouly, Mostafa (author), Labetski, A. (author)Flooding and other natural disasters pose risks to cities and residential homes, and these are set to increase in the face of climate change. Single-family residential buildings are of particular interest because they are difficult to insure and often highlight wealth discrepancies in society in the wake of natural disasters. Calculating...journal article 2020

Eilander, Dirk (author), Couasnon, A.A.O. (author), Ikeuchi, Hiroaki (author), Muis, Sanne (author), Yamazaki, Dai (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Ward, Philip J. (author)Current global riverine flood risk studies assume a constant mean sea level boundary. In reality high sea levels can propagate up a river, impede high river discharge, thus leading to elevated water levels. Riverine flood risk in deltas may therefore be underestimated. This paper presents the first global scale assessment of the joint...journal article 2020

Rottink, Martine (author)Around the world, there are 58 Small Island Developing States (SIDS). What these SIDS generally have in common is that they are very susceptible to different natural hazards, among which coastal flooding. In order to address this issue, adaptation measures are needed. In order to prioritize adaptation efforts when considering these islands at a...master thesis 2019

Sutter, V.B. (author)In this additional thesis a 2D urban flood model in the downtown area of Shanghai was investigated. Therefore a numerical model of Delft3D flexible mesh (DFM) was used. Since the model was investigated from scratch, a lot of data analysis and pre-processing was required to have reasonable input data. As input data a surface elevation map, a map...student report 2019

Abebe, Y.A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Sanchez, Arlex (author)In this paper, we describe a modelling framework that allows the integration of human and physical components of flood risk. Within this framework, flood risk management is conceptualized as a coupled human-flood system. The human subsystem includes individuals and their behaviour and institutions that shape human-flood interaction. The...journal article 2019

van der Linde, Lisa (author), Leclercq, Vincent (author), Wopereis, Ligaya (author)The United States of America have a safety standard for flood protection of 1/100 year. However the flood protections in the Washington D.C. do not comply with this requirement. During this study the levees in Washington D.C. area were analysed and it was found, that in order to comply with the 1/100 safety standard the levees in the...student report 2018

Musa, Z.N. (author)Accelerated sea level rise (SLR) is the most important climate change impact for coastal areas. However many coastal deltas lack necessary data for evaluation of the vulnerabilities. The Niger delta is one of the coastal areas with little data for coastal planning and management. <br/>Use of satellite data helps bridge the data gap by providing...doctoral thesis 2018

Gaitan Sabogal, S. (author)Cities are vulnerable to local floods due to heavy rainfall. Urban flooding causes damage to buildings and contents, and also disturbs daily city activities as it entails drainage, transportation, and electricity interruptions. Urban flooding is expected to increase as climate change drives heavier rainfall events. Population and assets...doctoral thesis 2017

Couasnon, A.A.O. (author)Flooding is the most common and one of the most damaging natural hazards globally. It has severe societal, economic and environmental consequences. Damages from floods are expected to worsen with changing climate and increasing population andwealthworldwide.

(author)Precipitation and catchment information needs to be available at high resolution to reliably predict hydrological response and potential flooding in urban catchments. While recent advances have been made in weather radar technology and availability of DTM for urban flood modelling, the question is whether these are sufficient to provide reliable...conference paper 2014

Oujamaa, I. (author)Floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters, hitting various regions in the world each year. In the last decades the potential damage caused by floods has increased. The need for tools, like flood maps and flood models, for real time monitoring and forecasting of floods has also increased. When an upcoming flood is expected, and...master thesis 2013

Abdullah, A.F.B. (author)In the last few decades, the consequences of floods and flash floods in many parts of the world have been devastating. One way of improving flood management practice is to invest in data collection and modelling activities which enable an understanding of the functioning of a system and the selection of optimal mitigation measures. A Digital...doctoral thesis 2012
