Most of the recent developments concerning efficient numerical schemes to solve the shallow-water equations in view of real world flood modelling purposes concern the two-dimensional form of the equations or the one-dimensional form written for rectangular, unit-width channels. Extension of these efficient schemes to the one-dimensional cross-sectional averaged shallow-water equations is not straightforward, especially when complex natural topographies are considered. This paper presents different formulations of numerical schemes based on the FILL (Harten-Lax-van Leer) solver, and the adaptation of the topographical source term treatment when cross-sections of arbitrary shape are considered. Coupled and uncoupled formulations of the equations are considered, in combination with centred and lateralised source term treatment. These schemes are compared to a numerical solver of Lax Friedrichs type based on a staggered grid. The proposed schemes are first tested against two theoretical benchmark tests and then applied to the Brembo River, an Italian alpine river, firstly simulating a steady-state condition and secondly reproducing the 2002 flood wave propagation.

Comparative Analysis of HLLC- and Roe-Based Models for the Simulation of a Dam-Break Flow in an Erodible Channel with a 90○ Bend

Summary: The study compared three different strategies for solving the SWE + Exner system under capacity and noncapacity conditions to approximate experimental data with fixed setup parameters. The results indicated that the discrete strategy for computing intercell fluxes significantly impacted the solution. Furthermore, the noncapacity approach can enhance model prediction in regions with complex transient processes but requires careful calibration of the nonequilibrium parameters.

Review of Historical Dam-Break Events and Laboratory Tests on Real Topography for the Validation of Numerical Models

Summary: Mapping dam break inundation is crucial for risk management, emergency planning, and assessing potential consequences. While historical dam-break field data validation is helpful, it may be inaccurate and incomplete. Real-field data can still provide valuable test cases for numerical models validation.

Modeling Large Wood Transport in Semi-Congested Regime with Multiple Entry Points

Summary: This study presents the application of a novel numerical model that incorporates wood transport during flood events to estimate the associated residual risk. Experimental validation of the model demonstrates its accuracy, and the analysis suggests that modulation of the transport velocity improves the model's performance under semi-congested conditions.

A One-Way Coupled Hydrodynamic Advection-Diffusion Model to Simulate Congested Large Wood Transport

Elisabetta Persi, Gabriella Petaccia, Stefano Sibilla, Roberto Bentivoglio, Aronne Armanini

Summary: An advection-diffusion model is proposed to simulate large wood transport during high flows, and validated through a series of flume experiments involving different control parameters. The model accurately predicts the displacement of logs and simulates planar diffusion of wooden mass, with room for improvement in controlling longitudinal diffusion.
