Coastal Flood Inundation Modelling With a 2-D Shallow Water Equation Solver

Coastal flood risk analysis involves integration over a wide range of hydraulic loadings, beach morphologies, coastal structural responses and flood inundation scenarios. The latter involves the use of 2-D hydrodynamic simulation models. Accurate risk estimates in complex simulations may require thousands of model simulations. Here we describe the adaptation and application of a 2-D shallow water equation solver to a realistic scenario of flood...
