Abstract: Based on the three‐dimensional (3‐D) hydrodynamic Navier‐Stokes equations, a numerical model is developed to simulate circulations in small shallow lakes with particularly irregular geometry. The geometry of the flow field ...

Abstract: Flood plain management requires assessment of the costs and benefits of all projects under consideration. The benefits translate mainly into flood damage reduction. This study presents a methodology for estimating flood ...

Abstract: The economic yield of a flood‐plain zoning program is measured by cost‐benefit analysis. The methodology entails the use of a probabilistic hydroeconomic model to evaluate expected flood damages with and without zoning. ...
