  1. 11. Sensitivity analysis of pluvial flood modelling tools for dense urban areas : A case study in Lundby-Lindholmen, Gothenburg

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Johanna Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Flood Modelling; MIKE FLOOD; Sensitivity Analysis;

    Abstract : As a result of the global climate change, extreme precipitation is occurring more frequently which increases the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. Urbanisation is widely discussed regarding urban flooding where an increase of impervious surfaces limits the infiltration and increases the surface runoff. READ MORE

  3. 12. Rainwater Infiltration Model of the Chocaya Basin using Hydrus-1D

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Alexander Bergman; Mire Persmark; [2020]
    Keywords : Rainwater Infiltration; Alluvial Plain; Chocaya Basin; Hydraulic Conductivity; Double Ring Infiltrometer DRI ; Hydrus-1D; Electrical Resistivity Tomography ERT ; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to assess the rainwater infiltration process in the unsaturated zone in an alluvial plain. Particularly, this study is focused on the Chocaya basin in central Bolivia. READ MORE

  4. 13. The impact from varying wind parameters and climate zones on building energy use : A case study on two multi-family buildings in Sweden using building energy simulation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Karthickraj Tamilvanan; Sai Kiran Mathipadi; [2020]
    Keywords : Building energy simulation; Building energy use; IDA-ICE; Wind effects; wind speed;

    Abstract : Globally, buildings utilize 35 % of the final energy use and contribute to approximately one-third of CO2 emissions. Hence, reducing the energy use of buildings contributes to a large amount of CO2 emissions to be decreased. READ MORE

  5. 14. Modeling LID-units in SWMM

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Petter Mogenfelt; [2017]
    Keywords : DRAINMOD; SWMM; storm water modeling; LID; LOD; SUDS; bio-retention cells; EPA; underdrains; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The LID control in US EPA SWMM5 includes modeling of Green-Ampt infiltration through the soil layer which assumes that only matrix flow is present. The LID control also models drainage through perforated underdrains. In this study, data and premade PCSWMM models, utilizing the SWMM5 engine, were provided for two test sites in North America.

  6. 15. Calibration of a 2D hydrodynamic model for flood inundation extent using aerial photographs : A case study of the Hallsberg flood event in 5-9 September 2015

    University essay from KTH/Vattendragsteknik

    Author : Alexandros Chatzakis; [2017]
    Keywords : MIKE 21; flood modelling; calibration; infiltration module; inundation; aerial photographs; MIKE 21; översvämnings modellering; kalibrering; infiltration modul; flygbilder;

    Abstract : Alteration of rainfall patterns is one major impact of climate change. Rainfall events with big precipitation volumes under short periods of time are predicted to become even more frequent in higher latitude regions, including Sweden. READ MORE
