Abstract:
... Subgrid modeling to account for unresolved topography within the context of shallow water equations relies on the use of coarse grids for computational efficiency. However, excessively coarse grids can lead to artificial cross flows between hydrologically disconnected areas separated by physical barriers smaller than the grid size. An approach based on introducing cell and edge clones, consisting ...

Abstract:
... Prediction of the area of possible inundation is critical for debris-flow hazard management. This is typically done with inundation modeling programs, but many of these models are not specific to predict post-wildfire debris flows, a particularly dangerous subset. For this research, deposition patterns from flows triggered by the 2003 Christmas Day storm in areas burned by the Old and Grand Prix F ...

Abstract:

As coastal circulation models have evolved to predict storm-induced flooding, they must include progressively more overland regions that are normally dry, to where now it is possible for more than half of the domain to be needed in none or only some of the computations. While this evolution has improved real-time forecasting and long-term mitigation of coastal flooding, it poses a problem for para ...

A re-analysis of their data rather led us to conclude that, when accounting for the singular effect of storm Klaus, the rate of change in harvested area depended on the change year used to separate the two periods to compare. Moreover ...
