Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents a physics-based two-dimensional (2D) numerical model to simulate overland flows typically generated by rainfall of a storm event or multiple events in natural terrain with complex topography, landform, soil characteristics, and land use. The model is based on the 2D fully nonlinear shallow-water equations (SWEs) in which tempospatial variations of rainfall intensity and infiltration are taken into account as source and sink terms, respectively. The Green-Ampt equation is used to simulate infiltration. Due to strong nonlinearity of the coupled dynamic processes in overland flow and stormwater runoff, special efforts were made to solve this coupled-flow system under the conditions of unsteady rainfall intensity and natural terrain. To attain the modeling capabilities for multiple flow regimes including subcritical, supercritical, and the transitions, a second-order central-upwind shock-capturing scheme, which is well balanced and depth-positivity preserving, is used to solve the ...
