Review for Some Applications of Riverbanks Flood Models

Abstract

Abstract The flood risk management is one of the primary concerns in water resources engineering. The flood occurs as a result of unexpected events in the hydrological cycle, such as rainfall in the upstream tributaries of the rivers. However, engineers have to have a precise tool to manage the risk of flood. Nowadays and due to the tremendous revolution in computers, which helps to build a credible mathematical models, management of flood become doable. In fact, expressive which model should be used is the challenge. This paper aims to review several hydraulics models that used in flood risk management.
