Modellierung städtischer Überschwemmungen

What it is about

In this module you will learn to model urban flooding using different model types (sewer network, surface, and dual drainage models), apply them, and critically evaluate them. By the end you will be able to set up models, evaluate simulations, and assess the advantages and disadvantages of different modeling approaches as well as SUDS measures in an urban context.

What you will be able to do

• Understand basic concepts of urban flood modelling
• Assess uses and applications of different model types
• Know various Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
• Discuss applicability, advantages and disadvantages of models for risk and management questions

What the module consists of

• LectureIntroduction to concepts, challenges and discussion/feedback on the report
• Computational Exercisesthree task blocks (each with setup and analysis) for practical application of SWMM, P-DWave and Dual-Drainage models
• PresentationPresentation and discussion of the group report in the course

Teaching method

• Lecture with integrated computational exercisesconveys theory and enables direct application of modelling tools
• Group work (max. 3 persons)encourages collaboration in the practical tasks and report writing
• Feedback during lecturessupports improvement of the report and the presentation
