    Study Notes

    Urban Flood Models

    • Comparing 1D-1D and 1D-2D models for urban flooding assessment is the study's focus
    • The study uses a small urban catchment in Athens, Greece (Ano Patisia, Kypseli) as a case study
    • 1D-1D approach combines sewer and surface systems using SWMM, a model simulating flow in both systems as a set of links and nodes (1D Shallow Water Equations - 1D-SWE)
    • 1D-2D approach couples surface and sewer systems using MIKE URBAN and MIKE FLOOD, solving 2D-SWE for the surface system and 1D-SWE for the sewer system
    • Results highlight the importance of considering sewer and surface interaction in urban drainage models
    • 1D-2D models are better for simulating flood extent and inundation, overcoming limitations of 1D-1D models

    Case Study Details

    • The study area (Ano Patisia, Kypseli) is a highly urbanized and impervious area with an area of 89 hectares.
    • Catchment comprises 112 nodes and 79 combined sewer pipes with a total length of about 5 km.
    • Drainage system includes both circular (newest) and egg-shaped (older) pipes.
    • Pipe slopes range from 0.6% to 10.8% (average 3%)

    Modelling Methods

    • SWMM (Storm Water Management Model): Dynamic Wave (DW) model for hydraulic calculations, Curve Number (CN) method for infiltration.
    • Key SWMM parameters: subcatchment area, width, slope, imperviousness percentage, Manning's 'n', and depression storage
    • MIKE URBAN-MIKE FLOOD: MIKE URBAN uses 1D-SWE (MOUSE/MIKE11) for pipe flow, SWMM functionality, GIS integration, 2D simulation capability via coupling with MIKE FLOOD. MIKE FLOOD uses structured grid (2D-SWE), coupled with MIKE URBAN to simulate combined drainage system interactions. An orifice equation is used to model flow exchange between 1D and 2D models.
    • Kinematic Wave method and Horton's equation are selected for hydrologic and loss calculations.
    • Simulation parameters: Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves, 1-hour duration rainfall events for 10 and 25-year return periods

    Results and Discussion

    • 1D-1D and 1D-2D models produce similar runoff volumes, but differences exist in sewer flows.
    • The 1D-1D model is potentially faster compared to the 1D-2D model
    • 1D-2D model accurately predicts flood extent and inundation.
    • 1D-2D model simulations calculate water depth and flow velocity at locations
    • 1D-1D model overestimates surface water flow, especially when sewer capacity is exceeded; it doesn't model overflow from manholes accurately, as this is often an artifact of the way the model calculates water surface profiles in open channels.

    Conclusions and Recommendations

    • 1D-2D models are better for predicting flood extents and inundation compared to 1D-1D models, despite being slower to run
    • Further research suggests incorporating rainfall-runoff monitoring, sensitivity analysis for 1D-2D models, and improved representation of structures like buildings.
