A Case Study of Interactions between Flood Flow and Buildings in an Urban Environment: Gardens Point during the 12-13 January 2011 Flood of the Brisbane River (australia)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flood flows in inundated urban environment constitute a natural hazard. During the 1213 January 2011 flood of the Brisbane River, detailed water elevation, velocity and suspended sediment data were recorded in an inundated street at the peak of the flood. The field observations highlighted a number of unusual flow interactions with the urban surroundings. These included some slow fluctuations in water elevations and velocity with distinctive periods between 50 and 100 s caused by some local topographic effect (choking), superposed with some fast turbulent fluctuations. The suspended sediment data highlighted some significant suspended sediment loads in the inundated zone.

Turbulence and Suspended Sediment Measurements in an Urban Environment during the Brisbane River Flood of January 2011
In urbanized areas, flood flows constitute a hazard to populations and infrastructure, as illustrated during major floods in 2011. During the 2011 Brisbane River flood, some turbulent velocity data were collected using acoustic Doppler velocimetry in an inundated street. The field deployment showed some unusual features of flood flow in the urban environment. That is, the water elevations and v...

Floods through inundated urban environments constitute a hazard to the population and infrastructure. A series of field measurements were performed in an inundated section of the City of Brisbane (Australia) during a major flood in January 2011. Using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV), detailed velocity and suspended sediment concentration measurements were conducted about the peak of the f...

متن کاملSuspended sediment properties and suspended sediment flux estimates in an inundated urban environment during a major flood event
[1] During a major flood event, the inundation of urban environments leads to some complicated flow motion most often associated with significant sediment fluxes. In the present study, a series of field measurements were conducted in an inundated section of the City of Brisbane (Australia) about the peak of a major flood in January 2011. Some experiments were performed to use ADV backscatter am...
