  1. 1. Evaluating the Bluespot model with the August 2021 flood in Gävle, Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Oskar Björklund; [2023]
    Keywords : Bluespot model; Urban Pluvial Flood Model; Fill Spill Merge Model; Gävle Flood 2021.;

    Abstract : Floods are one of the most common types of natural disasters. They annually affect vast amounts of people and cause severe economic losses. While fluvial, coastal, and flash floods are well studied, pluvial floods (rain related) have received modest attention from researchers and decision-makers in comparison. READ MORE

  3. 2. The influence of infiltration and rain intensity on an urban pluvial flood model : A case study of a catchment in Malmö municipality

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma van Heek; Ellen Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flooding; hydraulic model; type event; infiltration; runoff coefficient; Urban pluvial översvämning; hydraulisk modell; typ-regn; infiltration; avrinningskoefficient;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods have become more and more common in Europe. These floods have resulted in high costs for society, increasing the interest in conducting hydraulic flood models. This in order to prepare and minimise the consequences of these flood events. READ MORE

  4. 3. An evaluation of deep learning models for urban floods forecasting

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Yang Mu; [2022]
    Keywords : Urban flooding forecasting; Convolutional neural networks; Deep learning; Physically-based simulation; Recurrent neural network; Stadsöversvämningsprognoser; konvolutionella neurala nätverk; djupinlärning; fysiskt baserad simulering; återkommande neurala nätverk;

    Abstract : Flood forecasting maps are essential for rapid disaster response and risk management, yet the computational complexity of physically-based simulations hinders their application for efficient high-resolution spatial flood forecasting. To address the problems of high computational cost and long prediction time, this thesis proposes to develop deep learning neural networks based on a flood simulation dataset, and explore their potential use for flood prediction without learning hydrological modelling knowledge from scratch.

  5. 4. Flood modelling in urban areas : A comparative study of MIKE 21 and SCALGO Live

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : SCALGO Live; MIKE 21; Stormwater Model; Flood Model; Cloudburst; Inundation; Comparative;

    Abstract : Pluvial flooding originating from extreme rainfall is problematic and an increasing issue in Sweden. Higher requirements on adapting cities in urban areas to these challenges have been placed on both municipalities and the county administration. Thus, an increased need for water modelling, both in existing and planned areas have emerged. READ MORE

  6. 5. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.
