Flood Inundation Modelling Using MILHY. Volume 1
Abstract
We report the further development of the ungauged forecasting mosel MILHY. Specifically, new routines are introduced to allow discrete routing in channel and floodplain zones, and allowance is made for turbulent exchange between channel and floodplain. The program (MILHY3) is applied to the Fulda watershed in West Germany. In addition, a 2-dimensional finite element scheme (RMA2) is applied to a 30 km reach of the River Fulda. We conclude that it should be perfectly feasible to couple MILHY3 to RMA2: MILHY3 generating the inflow hydrograph and RMA2 predicting the detail of inundation downstream as well as predicting stage at the final outflow. The latter component of the study has been undertaken at the Hydrologic Engineering Center at Davis, California. With funds available at Bristol University we propose to continue this research and development work over the next 18 months to October 1989 under the aegis of the contract research area. The code for MILHY3, as developed on a Sun 3/60 workstation by Laura Baird, is contained in an appendix to this report.
