Simulating the Storage and the Blockage Effects of Buildings in Urban Flood Modeling

Buildings often affect overland flow propagation in urban areas. Building walls change the direction and velocity of flow and can exclude interior spaces from flooding. However, water may intrude buildings when the flood level exceeds the height of protection. This study develops an inundation model...
