New directions for theoretical flooding research

This page collects some ideas and material for new research directions on flooding at Bath, primarily motivated from some of the challenges proposed as part of the Integrative Think Tank 17 programme with the Environmental Agency and JBA Trust.

• A 3-page proposal of some directions suitable for a PhD student.

All of the below reports are in draft form only and should not be publically shared (unless already shared on the ArXiv).

• Part 1. Parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis of catchment properties
• Part 2. A three-dimensional benchmark model and its properties
• Part 3. Analytical solutions and scaling laws

• Asymptotic differences between a lumped probability-distributed rainfall-runoff model and physical benchmark models.
• On the evaluation of grid and grid-to-grid rainfall-runoff models and their differences with physical benchmarks

• A calibration-free physicality-based model for predicting peak river flows

• A talk by Piotr Morawiecki for a Bath meeting on 19 April 2023

• A student report by Henry Writer et al. on a problem of climate effects at ITT17.
• A report by Emiko Dupont et al. on new methods for detection of changes in flood data at ITT17.
