  1. 16. Simulating Spatial and Temporal Flood Risk Dynamics with a Coupled Agent-Based and Hydraulic Model

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tamara Michaelis; [2019]
    Keywords : agent-based modeling; flood risk;

    Abstract : Floods are one of the most costly natural hazards worldwide, affecting millions of people every year. Flood risk management is of global concern, and a deeper understanding of dynamic flood risk development is needed. READ MORE

  3. 17. Differences in consequences between peak arrivals and movement directions of an extreme rainfall in flood modeling

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Samuel Hermelin; [2018]
    Keywords : Uniform rain; CDS-rain; rain types; movement; peak arrivals; modelling; flooding; MIKE 21; climate change;

    Abstract : To avoid damages and costs for the society due to flooding is it important to be able to model accurate rain scenarios. Due to climate change is it thought that there will be more heavy rainfalls in the future which will increase the risk for flooding. READ MORE

  4. 18. Flood Mapping: Assessing the uncertainty associated with flood inundation modelling. A case study of the Mora River, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Isabelle Åberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Flood inundation modeling; hydraulic modeling; HEC-RAS; översvämningskartering; hydraulisk modellering; HEC-RAS;

    Abstract : Expansion of cities and major infrastructure projects lead to changes in land use and river flows. The probability of flooding is expected to increase in the future as a result of these changes in combination with climate change. READ MORE

  5. 19. Modeling hydrometeorological extremes in Alpine catchments

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Theo Voulgaridis; [2017]
    Keywords : method of fragments; HBV; rainfall disaggregation; weather generation; hydrological modeling; modeling; översvämningsmodellering; hydrologisk modellering; vädergenerator; hbv-modellen;

    Abstract : Uncertainties with a modeling framework consisting of a weather generator, two precipitation disaggregation models and the hydrological HBV model was assessed with respect to hydrometeorological extremes in Tyrol, Austria. Extreme precipitation events are expected to increase in intensity and frequency in the Alps during a warmer climate. READ MORE

  6. 20. Assessing the ability of HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff model to simulate stream flow across Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Mohammadreza Alavimoghaddam; [2017]
    Keywords : Rainfall-Runoff; HEC-HMS; Sweden;

    Abstract : Computer modeling is the powerful tool for simulating nature’s behavior; however, still more efforts are need for reaching perfect simulation with computer models (especially in the hydrological field of study). In this Master’s thesis, the accuracy of the HEC-HMS computer model for long term rainfall-runoff simulation was evaluated across Sweden. READ MORE
