Physically Based Modelling of Rainfall-Runoff Processes.

摘要

This PhD research project is a result of a collaboration between Delft Hydraulics and the section Hydrology and Ecology of Delft University of Technology. The project was set up with the aim to investigate the possibilities of a physically based approach towards flood frequency analysis. A physically based approach implies that information is required on both the meteorological events which can be expected in the future and the hydrological response of river catchments to these events. In modeling terms this means a catchment-runoff model is combined with a meteorological model which generates characteristics of future flood generating events and their probability of occurrence.
