Advanced hydraulic modelling for flood risk analysis Ioanna Stamataki, University of Bath
Supervisors: Dr. Jun Zang and Dr. Thomas Kjeldsen
Scientific Context One expected consequence of climate change is an increase in the frequency and magnitude of flooding, with approximately 21 million people globally threatened by it each year and expected to rise to 54 million by 2030. In line with these predictions, the European Commission is expecting the annual associated European damage costs to rise from €4.6 billion in 2012 to €23.5 billion by 2050.
Objectives • Develop a verified and efficient 2D hydraulic model being able to accurately
predict flood inundation extents in extreme events.
• Provide a 2D model that can be compared with existing industry models to assess their predictive ability.
Initial Model Validations • Surface profiles for shock wave interaction with structures of different geometries:
• Dam break at different time steps:

Conclusion & Future Work The future work over the next few months will include the introduction of the wetting and drying component within the existing model. This will be then verified against literature and physical experiments. The objectives of the physical experiments will be to model the sharp flood wave front, validate the numerical model with large magnitude event data and provide high quality flash flood data to the research community in large scale testing.
Flash Flood Modelling: • Flash flood characteristics very challenging
- limited spatial and temporal scales • Current 1D & 2D models are challenged due to:
- numerical instabilities - computational time - the moving wet-dry interface - the sharp flood wave front - data limitations
Need for Advanced Models: • Ideally:
- calibration against different magnitudes - prediction of large magnitude events
Methodology 1. Further development of non-linear shallow water equations existing model
− Introduction of wet/dry boundary treatment, − Incorporation of rainfall data − Introduction of pre- and post- processing software Existing Model Advantages:
2. Laboratory experiment to replicate flash flood conditions (possible HYDRALAB collaboration & dissertation student)
3. Model validation 4. Benchmarking of new model against test cases 5. Field data from case studies (hydro-meteorological, LIDAR & OS Master Map) 6. Model outputs compared with existing industry models
• Dynamically adaptive grid • High resolution mesh • Godunov- type solver • Cut cell technique • Quadtree grid • Boundary fitting scheme
• Robust simulations • Adjustable to local topography • Computationally efficient, • Shock capturing • No numerical instabilities • Prediction of discontinuous flows
