Description

Fluvial floods cause adverse effects on human beings. Recent studies have revealed that climate change would exacerbate flood damage due to increasing precipitation and runoff. Furthermore, sea level rise may be an additional risk for deltaic lowlands. Hence, projection of fluvial flood hazard with sea level rise taken into account has a large implication. In this study, we focused on the backwater effect caused by sea level rise in flood simulation. The target region was Ganges Delta located in Bangladesh. The effect of sea level rise can be represented as changes in pressure force term in a momentum equation. We conducted two types of simulation with/without backwater effect. Backwater effect was found to enhance flood extent in a wide area. In conclusion, a sophisticated hydrodynamic flow equation is required in flood simulation with the effect of sea level rise.
