open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi everyone,
I would like to perform a 2D simulation to represent both river flood and runoff flood on a complicated area which envolves many rivers, canals and culverts.

To simulate runoff floods I’m goind to use the rainfall-runoff model showed in the pluie test case in V8p1. As i didn’t saw many posts about this topic I would like to know your feedback, and experiences that you had with this function.

Thank you very much in advance

Hello Audrey,

A section of the upcoming user manual for v8p2 is dedicated to this module.
Please find attached a screenshot of this part

. The associated references, where you can find more information about the model are:

[16] Soil Conservation Service. National engineering handbook, section 4, hydrology, 1972.

[9] Ven Te Chow, David R Maidment, and W Larry. Mays. 1988. Applied Hydrology, pages 110–117, 1988.

Otherwise, this model is widely used in the literature, especially in the American community, to represent the part of the rain infiltrated with heterogeneous land cover.

I also have in mind one application of this model presented at the TELEMAC-MASCARET user club in 2019 (see attached

).

Hope this helps.
