Flood Risk Simulation (Progress in Water Resources)

An up-to-date text on the simulation of flood risk in both rural and urban areas, this book begins by presenting the main concepts related to one-dimensional flood propagation. There are also sections on practical aspects in river flood routing problems, parameter identification in I-D flood routing including optimising techniques with applications, and the routing of dam-break waves with a brief description of historical dam failures and their main causes. The second part is devoted to urban floods with hydrological and hydrodynamic modelling. One- and two-dimensional mathematical models with practical applications are included.F. C. B. Mascarenhas is the author of 'Flood Risk Simulation (Progress in Water Resources)', published 2005 under ISBN 9781853127519 and ISBN 1853127515.
