Hydraulic modelling of floodplainsHydraulic modelling of floodplains
• Flow on floodplains is controlled by topography and friction
• Leads to complex spatial patterns of water depth and velocity that are 2D in space and dynamic in time
• Until recently modelling of such flows has only been possible for small river reaches (10-50km)

New opportunitiesNew opportunities
• Large scale modelling has now been made possible by:– Simplified 2D hydraulic models– Faster computers – New satellite data sources e.g. SRTM, satellite
radars

LISFLOOD-FPLISFLOOD-FP
• Hybrid 1D/2D model– Based on raster DEM– 1D Kinematic or diffusion wave routing in channel– Once bankfull depth is exceeded calculates a flux to floodplain
cells using Manning’s equation or 2D diffusive wave to route water over complex floodplain topography
Model discretization of floodplain and channel topography
In-channel flow routed using a 1D wave equation
Once bankful depth is exceeded water can flow laterally over adjacent low lying floodplains according to topography and free surface gradient

• Inundation is based on a simple continuity equation:

where: Qi,j = flux between two cells i and j, Ai,j = cross sectional area at the cell
interface, Ri,j = hydraulic radius at cell interface, Si,j = water surface slope between cells, n = Manning friction coefficient.

Simplified 2D modelsSimplified 2D models
• Advantages– Floodplain flow is solved analytically rather than
numerically so very efficient• 150-500k cells for full dynamic events should run in less than
1 day on a pc
– Can use large elements (e.g. 250m – 1000m grids)– Intrinsically mass conservative treatment of floodplain
flow
• Disadvantages– Simplified floodplain flow representation– Wetting front propagation may be grid and time step
dependent

• 200x280km model domain, Purus and Solimões as 1D channels– 90m SRTM DEM averaged to 270m,
processing for vegetation– Around ~800,000 cells– Simplified channel information
• 4 year simulation, each annual hydrograph is the average of 20 years of gauged data

Some conclusionsSome conclusions
• Comparison of inundation extent using JERS image is useful but uncertain.
• Altimetry data are a welcome addition, but miss the spatial complexity floodplain flows.
• To capture these complexities, a two-dimensional approach is required.
