One of the most common disasters in the world is flooding and it’s well known that it causes environmental, social and economic damages. Since these damages could be severe and destructive due to drivers such as climate change and humane factors, the necessity of flood management studies is revealed. Europe has recognized the need for creating flood risk maps and flood hazard maps. 1-D and 2-D hydraulic models have been used to obtain these maps. This study is focused on the sensitivity of a 2-D hydraulic model, LISFLOOD-FP which uses simplified shallow water equations assuming convective acceleration term as negligible. The study area Terme City, which is located in the Middle Black Sea Region of Turkey was exposed to a storm event on July 2012 and the river water level reached the top of the levees. With the help of the available data, the effect of neglected convective acceleration term in hydraulic model is investigated in a benchmarking study where MIKE21 and LISFLOOD-FP hydraulic models are used. The results show that LISFLOOD-FP (Acceleration and Subgrid Channel Solver) is affected by spatial resolution in terms of the representation of flood propagation and computation time. In addition, roughness coefficient can be used to calibrate the model to obtain better results. It's obtained that Subgrid Channel Solver gives better results compared to Acceleration Solver even for coarse resolutions since it allows the use of fine resolutions to define the channel, so that eliminates the negative effects of resampling, to a coarse resolution.

Experimental investigations of flood management by an engineered levee breach Ibrahim, Ibrahim Adil; Çalamak, Melih; LaRocque, Lindsey; Imran, Jasim (2019-01-01) Extreme flooding has become more prevalent due to climate change and has been causing extensive damage, loss of property, and fatalities around the world. Levees are often constructed to prevent inundation in floodplains and urban areas. Flood mitigation efforts during extreme floods include forcing a breach in the levee at a strategic location to avoid flooding at target locations. A well-known example of engineered levee breaches along the Mississippi River is the New Madrid Floodway at Birds Point, contr...
Evaluation of Relations among Drought Indices and Remotely Sensed Soil: Moisture Datasets over Turkey Bulut, Burak; Afshar, Mehdi; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (null; 2018-04-08) Drought is globally classified as a natural disaster due to the damage it causes. As a result, detection of its characteristics is essential for understanding and reducing the adverse effects of this natural disaster and improving its prediction. Spatial distribution and temporal changes of soil moisture is one of the important components in climatic, ecological and natural hazards at global, regional and local levels scales. In this study, different drought indices (i.e. SPI, SPEI, PDSI) and remotely sense...
Operation of the water control structures Bozkurt, Okan Çağrı; Merzi, Nuri; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Floods are one of the most important natural disasters regarding damages caused by them. Major reasons of huge damages of floods are unplanned urbanization, narrowing of river beds and incorrect operation of water control structures. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can provide important tools to be used in flood modeling studies. In this study, Lake Mogan, Lake Eymir and İncesu Detention Pond subbasins are studied for flooding events within GIS framework. These subbasins are important catchment areas o...
Advancement of Satellite Rainfall Applications for Hydrologic Modeling with Emphasis on Flood Monitoring (FLOODSAT) Yılmaz, Koray Kamil(2014-3-31) "Floods are the most widespread and frequent natural disaster responsible for significant loss of lives and property each year. The European Environmental Agency estimated that floods in Europe between 1998 and 2002 caused about 700 deaths, the displacement of about half a million people and at least 25 billion Euros in insured economic losses. As such, one of the four priority areas in FP7 has been identified as triggering factors and forecasting and mitigation strategies for natural hazards. Flood early ...
Satellite Remote Sensing and Hydrologic Modeling for Flood Inundation Mapping in Lake Victoria Basin: Implications for Hydrologic Prediction in Ungauged Basins Khan, Sadiq I.; Hong, Yang; Wang, Jiahu; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Gourley, Jonathan J.; Adler, Robert F.; Brakenridge, G. Robert; Policelli, Fritz; Habib, Shahid; Irwin, Daniel (2011-01-01) Floods are among the most catastrophic natural disasters around the globe impacting human lives and infrastructure. Implementation of a flood prediction system can potentially help mitigate flood-induced hazards. Such a system typically requires implementation and calibration of a hydrologic model using in situ observations (i.e., rain and stream gauges). Recently, satellite remote sensing data have emerged as a viable alternative or supplement to in situ observations due to their availability over vast ung...
