Integrated 1D-2D model for flood simulation in the Vu Gia-Thu Bon delta

Flood Hazard Mapping by Satellite Images and Srtm Dem in the Vu Gia – Thu Bon Alluvial Plain, Central Vietnam

The objective of this study is to generate a flood hazard map based on geomorphologic approach employing Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM and satellite image data (ASTER and LANDSAT). Supervised classification of satellite images is implemented to characterize land cover types. Moreover, the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) is undertaken to identify moist surface o...

Reconstruction of 2D river beds by appropriate interpolation of 1D cross-sectional information for flood simulation

The 2D numerical simulation of river flow requires a large amount of topographic data to build an accurate Digital Terrain Model which must cover the main river channel and the area likely to be flooded. DTMs for large floodplains are often generated by LiDAR flights. However, it is often impossible to obtain LiDAR data of permanently inundated river beds. These areas are often surveyed and dis...

Development of a high-resolution 1D/2D coupled flood simulation of Charles City, Iowa

ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed my research without the help of numerous people. Drs. Larry Weber and Nathan Young provided invaluable guidance in the preparation of this thesis. I want to thank Jesse Piotrowski for providing constant advice on developing my models and presenting the results. Nate, Jesse, and Andy Craig collected the bathymetric data I used in my model. Dan Gilles...

Integrated approach for scenario-based flood simulation

This paper present recent achievements obtained within the context of the ANFAS project (Data fusion for flood simulation and decision support). The overal objective of ANFAS was to set up an integrated system for flood prevention and protection. Data fusion and models fusion techniques constitute the core of the scientific research work of the project. Data fusion refers to the use of multi-so...
