Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage.
Map** the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few …

Vegetation on the banks and flooding areas of watercourses significantly affects energy
losses. To take the latter into account, computational models make use of resistance …

Flow resistance of natural grasses, sedges and willows was studied in a laboratory flume.
The objective was to investigate, how type, density and placement of vegetation, flow depth …

This paper investigates the determination of flow resistance caused by stiff and flexible
woody vegetation. A new procedure has been developed which allows the determination of …

Understanding the interactions between the ecosystem and the morphology of river
floodplains, ie floodplain biogeomorphology, is becoming increasingly important in view of …

Floodplain roughness parameterization is one of the key elements of hydrodynamic
modeling of river flow, which is directly linked to exceedance levels of the embankments of …

Topographic and climatic changes are the main causes of abrupt flooding in tropical areas. It
is the need to find out exact causes and effects of these changes. Numerical modeling …

Floodplains are some of the most ecologically important and human‐impacted habitats
throughout the world. Large efforts are underway in North America, Europe, Australia, and …

We develop a numerical model capable of simulating three-dimensional, turbulent free
surface flows in natural waterways. Free surface motion is captured by coupling the two …

The results of the numerical simulations of the dynamics of shallow waters for Volga-
Akhtuba Floodplain are discussed. The mathematical model is based on the system of Saint …
