A preliminary investigation into the impact of initial conditions on flood inundation predictions using a time/space distributed sensitivity analysis

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
A new high space/time resolution distributed sensitivity analysis is presented and used to examine the impact of simple variations in initial conditions on inundation predictions derived from a two dimensional finite element model of river channel/floodplain flow. Specifically changes in the specification of the floodplain topographic surface and the upstream boundary condition are considered for two flood events.
