2D Multilevel Model for Flood Wave Propagation in Flood-Affected Areas

摘要

A hyperbolic model for the simulation of flood wave propagation on initially dry land is presented. The convective inertia terms are neglected in the momentum equations. This assumption allows the use of a Finite element scheme with linear shape functions for the free surface elevations and constant unit discharges Inside each element. An appropriate use of the explicit and implicit approximation of the spatial derivatives is Able to avoid the introduction of internal boundaries in the case of vertical discontinuities of the terrain elevation.
