  1. 21. 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

  3. 22. Damage Assessment of the 2022 Tongatapu Tsunami : With Remote Sensing

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Milton Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : remote sensing; land cover classification; Sentinel-1; Sentinel-2; change detection; change vector analysis;

    Abstract : The Island of Tongatapu, Tonga, was struck by a tsunami on January 15, 2022. Internet was cut off from the island, which made remote sensing a valuable tool for the assessment of damages. Through land cover classification, change vector analysis and log-ratio image differencing, damages caused by the tsunami were assessed remotely in this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 23. Inverse Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling in Complex Geometries

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Charlie Pelland; [2022]
    Keywords : atmospheric dispersion modeling; dispersion modeling; invers dispersion modeling; atmospheric dispersion; invers atmospheric dispersion; CFD; computational fluid dynamics; radioactive release; openfoam; CRBN; dry deposition; dry deposition velocity; scavenging effect; wet deposition; optimization model; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; adjoint mode; time-dependent rain simulation; time-dependent rain; time dependent rain simulation; time dependent rain;

    Abstract : In the event of a radioactive release in an urban environment the consequent response mustbe swift and precise. As soon as first responders have correct information, they can make anaccurate risk assessment. However, if the position, release rate and time of the radioactiverelease is unknown it is hard to know how the pollutant will spread. READ MORE

  5. 24. Curating contemporary art, the city and the fl�neur : A walk through Bruges and its Triennial

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för kultur och estetik

    Author : Agnès Biro; [2022]
    Keywords : Curating; curating context; phenomenology; architecture; contemporary art; psychogeography; the city; the flâneur; walking; emotions; atmosphere; encounter; urban space; public space; heritage; transformation; experiment; Bruges Triennial; La Dérive.;

    Abstract : Discovering the city of Bruges through the lens of its Triennial is the starting point to research the potential for contemporary art to influence one?s way of experiencing the city. Taking the case study of a still not so renowned large-scale event like the Bruges Triennial, this thesis investigates the background of this recurring event, how it started, the evolution of its curatorial process and its socio-political challenges being set, every three years, in the context of a Unesco-protected site.

  6. 25. 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
