Content Description
GC1 Concepts for hydrologic/hydraulic modelling of flood events are provided. Moreover, the general motivation of flood risk management (FRM) as well as the social and political framework of FRM are introduced. Different strategies and measures of technical, decentral, and nature-based flood protection are included. You find the pdfs of the presentations here: Triton_Summer_School_2022_NBS_Disse , Triton_Summer_School_2022_Retention_Basins_Disse , Triton_Summer_School_2022_FRFM_Disse
GC2 Required data for hydrodynamic and sediment modeling. Examples of applications of 1D, 2D and 3D sediment modeling with reference to NBS modeling.   Introduction to coupled 1D/2D modeling. Basic equations and the 1D/2D HECRAS model. Examples of applications of HECRAS to NBS modeling.You find the pdfs of the presentations here: 2022-09_IAHR_SummerSchool_CFD_CASES_NR_TUM_4_3
GC3 Introduction to hydrodynamic and water quality modeling for flash flood events. Basic equations and required data.

HOM3 Modeling the environmental risks associated with sediments or pathogens during and after a flood event. Setting up a coupled Telemac 2D model and water quality model. Application in a German municipality as a case study. Application of mitigation scenarios using NBS. A working TELEMAC-installation is required.The presentation is available here: 20220906_HOM3_Workshop_TELEMAC-2D. An installation guideline is available here: TELEMAC-2D_Installation. The examples are available here: TELEMAC_handout_examples.

The post-flood pond WQ model is available here: Pathogen. The Simulink model is programed in the Matlab version of 2020a. But you can adjust it to your version easily.
