  • Interaction Between Storm Water Conduit Flow and Overland Flow for Numerical Modelling of Urban Area Inundation

    Publication

    Nowadays we can observe increasing frequency of inundations in cities. This makes accurate predicting of inundations more important than ever. Numerical modeling of this issue requires complex approach with simultaneous calculations of pipe flow and surface flow. In this paper, after a short review of known methods used for solving pipe and surface flow, we will try to answer the question if presented methods would be sufficiently...

  • Interaction Between Storm Water Conduit And Surface Flow For Urban Flood Inundation Modelling

    Rapid development of urban areas always comes with great side effects. One of them is the occurrence of urban floods. Growth of impervious surfaces in cities leads to increasing run-off values. This together with difficulties connected with sewage modernization in cities marks urban inundations as being one of the most important issues concerning urban water. Accurate prediction of a phenomenon is difficult as it is highly dependent...

  • Review on the quality of sediments from the stormwater drainage system in the urban area

    Publication

    The main task of the stormwater drainage system is a safe drainage of rainwater and snowmelt from the urban area to the receiver. The flow of rain water in the drainage pipes is directly related with the formation of sediments in the whole stormwater system. In addition, pollutants from land runoff get adsorbed to the sediments. The sludge is mainly formed in those elements of stormwater drainage system, wherein the flow conditions...

  • Stormwater and snowmelt runoff storage control and flash flood hazard forecasting in the urbanized coastal basin.

    City of Gdańsk is located in a coastal region where changing climatic conditions increase the frequency of extreme weather events.
