Abstract: The diffusive wave simplification of the unsteady, open-channel flow equations is a commonly used approach for flood routing applications. Among the many routing methods, except for those based on the De Saint-Venant ...

Abstract: A local perturbation approach is presented for the sensitivity analysis of the one-dimensional shallow water equations. Under steady state conditions the sensitivity of the water depth to the Strickler coefficient is shown ...

Abstract: During urban storms, the overloading of a sewer system or a riverbank overflow produces flows that are routed by the road infrastructure and causes flooding of adjacent built-up areas. The evaluation of the damage inflicted ...
