Flood Inundation Modelling Using Milhy. Volume 1. User Manual

Abstract

The overall objective of this contract is to improve the predictive capabilities of MILHY2 whilst retaining its parsimonious data requirements, portability and simplicity of application. This objective has been achieved through the investigation of the following specific objectives: to develop the modular structure of MILHY to allow not only flexibility in catchment representation but also choice in the process resolution of the solution; to develop the channel routing components of MILHY2 to improve prediction of out- of-bank flood events; to investigate and implement several alternative validation schemes for the revised MILHY scheme, using both field data and hydrodynamic simulation of the River Fulda catchment in West Germany; to explore the suitability of a finite-element hydrodynamic model (RMA-2V) for large scale floodplain modelling; and to investigate the linking of MILHY with a hydrodynamic model (RMA-2V) to provide enhanced inundation modelling within a catchment scheme.
