1. 1. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

   Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

3. 2. How variations of the duration and time to peak of the Chicago Design Storm affect the hydraulic response, as well as the areas contributing to peak runoff, of a synthetic urban catchment area

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Oskar Ahlstedt; [2022]
   Keywords : Avrinningsområde; översvämningsmodellering; peak-bidragande område; hydrograf; hyetograf; MIKE 21; regnintensitet; CDS-regn; Chicago Design Storm;

   Abstract : With an expanding urbanization in the world, and thus the expansion of impermeable surfaces, the risk of pluvial floods is an increasing factor that needs to be considered. This, in combination with increasing rain intensities and frequency of rain events indicates a problem both today and for the future. READ MORE

4. 3. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

   Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

5. 4. Sensitivity analysis of a generic urban flow model : 2D modelling with empirical hyetographs and CDS rain

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Julia Granlund; [2022]
   Keywords : Input parameters; initial water content; antecedent moisture content; impervious surfaces; topography; empirical hyetographs; design storms;

   Abstract : Severe flooding events in recent years have underlined the importance of accurate hydrological modelling in urban areas. There are many important parameters relating to both the rainfall distribution and properties of the land on which the rain falls that controls the impacts of the rain event. READ MORE

6. 5. Implementation of Citizens’ Observations in Urban Pluvial Flood Modelling

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Fredrik Schück; [2021]
   Keywords : Calibration; Crowdsourcing; Citizen science; CDS-rainfall; 2D flood model; Spatial variability;

   Abstract : Damages caused by urban pluvial floods are believed to increase due to climate change and urbanization as more citizens are impacted in densely populated cities and extreme rainfalls occur more frequently with higher intensities. To prepare cities for these calamities, urban pluvial flood models are created to provide knowledge about how an extreme rainfall event could inundate the studied city. READ MORE
