Reduced complexity strategies for modelling urban floodplain inundation

Significant advances in flood inundation modelling have been made in the last decade through the use of a new generation of 2D hydraulic numerical models. These offer the potential to predict the local pattern and timing of flood depth and velocity, enabling informed flood risk zoning and improved emergency planning. With the availability of high resolution DEMs derived from airborne lidar, these models can theoretically now be routinely parameterized to represent considerable topographic complexity, even in urban areas where the potential exists to represent flows at the scale of individual buildings. Currently, however, computational constraints on conventional finite element and volume codes typically require model discretization at scales well below those achievable with lidar and are thus unable to make optimal use of this emerging data stream.In this paper we review two strategies that attempt to address this mismatch between model and data resolution in an effort to improve urban flood forecasts. The first of these strives for a solution by simplifying the mathematical formulation of the numerical model by using a computationally efficient 2D raster storage cell approach coupled to a 1D channel model. This parsimonious model structure enables simulations over large model domains offering the opportunity to employ a topographic discretization strategy which explicitly represents the built environment. The second approach seeks to further reduce the computational overhead of this raster method by employing a subgrid parameterization to represent the effect of buildings and micro-relief on flow pathways and floodplain storage. This multi-scale methodology enables highly efficient model applications at coarse spatial resolutions while retaining information about the complex geometry of the built environment.These two strategies are evaluated through numerical experiments designed to reconstruct a flood in the small town of Linton in southern England, which occurred in response to a 1 in 250 year rainfall event in October 2001. Results from both approaches are encouraging, with the spatial pattern of inundation and flood wave propagation matching observations well. Both show significant advantages over a coarse resolution model without subgrid parameterisation, particularly in terms of their ability to reproduce both hydrograph and inundation depth measurements simultaneously, without need for recalibration. The subgrid parameterization is shown to achieve this without contributing significant computational complexity and reduces model run-times by an order of magnitude.

Capillary pressure for the sand–CO2–water system under various pressure conditions. Application to CO2 sequestration

Accurate modeling of storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in heterogeneous aquifers requires experiments of the capillary pressure as function of temperature and pressure. We present a method with which static drainage and imbibition capillary pressures can be measured continuously as a function of saturation at various temperature (T) and pressure (P) conditions. The measurements are carried out at (T, P) conditions of practical interest. Static conditions can be assumed as small injection rates are applied. The capillary pressure curves are obtained for the unconsolidated sand–distilled water–CO₂ system. The experimental results show a decrease of drainage and imbibition capillary pressure for increasing CO₂ pressures and pronounced dissolution rate effects for gaseous CO₂. Significant capillary pressure fluctuations and negative values during imbibition are observed at near critical conditions. The measurement procedure is validated by a numerical model that simulates the experiments.

五里冲水库个旧组（T2^cg)灰岩，岩溶极其发育，其中尤以洼地深、峰丛高、溶洞多又大，地下河管道单一较长、岩溶总体发育历史悠久为特点，以更新世以来岩溶最为发育，现今地下河管道主要形成于晚更新世至今。因区域地壳持续抬升，岩溶没有成层发育的规律，但自上向下递减现象明显。工程上五里冲水库是以帷幕高压灌浆技术为主辅以其它多种方法处理溶洞及封堵地下河，利用天然盲谷成库的一座无大坝中型水库。帷幕高压灌浆技术先、便捷、可靠。水库蓄水己达设计水位，发挥了效益。一年可向蒙自县供水8161万m^3，可增加灌溉面积10万亩，改善灌溉2.3万亩，向城市及工业供水1210万m^3，使蒙自水利化程度由37%提高到70%以上。     

应用高分辨CT（HRCT）扫描弥补腔隙诊断之不足

目的：应用高分辨CT（HRCT）扫描方法，增加对头颅腔隙梗塞诊断的可靠性，材料和方法：对临床疑有腔隙的病人，在基底节区及可疑部位加用HRC扫描，遇到腔隙病灶与像素颗粒难以区分时在相同层面或上下1－2mm处做HRCT扫描。结果，有489例常规CT正常的病例哪现了腔隙灶，在遇到的502例不易诊断的可疑病灶中，经HRCT确诊的真正腔隙灶300例，伪腔隙（像素）202例，同时发现HRCT对正常脑组织结构的显示要较常规CT越得多，结论HRCT不仅能提高腔隙性梗塞的检出率，还能辨伪腔隙，是弥补常规CT对腔隙诊断不足的较好手段。
