dc.description.abstract | We compared flood mapping techniques using a one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic model HEC-RAS and two-dimensional (2D) LISFLOOD-FP for a 10-km reach of Gorgan River in Iran. Both models were run using the same hydrologic input data. The input into the models was a steady discharge of 90 cm, corresponds to a flood peak occurred on March 25, 2012. Flood maps generated using these two models were compared with an observed flood inundation map, using F-statistic. The roughness coefficients of the models were calibrated by maximizing the value of the F-statistic. Based on the F-statistic, LISFLOOD-FP gives a slightly better result (F = 0.69) than HEC-RAS (F = 0.67). Visual comparison of the flood extents generated by the two models showed reasonably good agreement. Validation was done using a flood event occurred on May 31, 2014. The LISFLOOD-FP model gave a better result for validation as well. The 2D model showed more consistency in comparison with the 1D model. | en_US |
