• Abstract summary: This study examines whether several Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures are suitable for optimizing hydrodynamic flood models. Several pluvial flooding events were simulated in a low-relief high-resolution urban environment using a 2D HEC-RAS hydrodynamic model. The results show that DNNs can greatly optimize hydrodynamic flood modeling, and enable near-real-time hydrodynamic flood forecasting.

• Abstract: Hydrodynamic flood modeling improves hydrologic and hydraulic prediction of storm events. However, the computationally intensive numerical solutions required for high-resolution hydrodynamics have historically prevented their implementation in near-real-time flood forecasting. This study examines whether several Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures are suitable for optimizing hydrodynamic flood models. Several pluvial flooding events were simulated in a low-relief high-resolution urban environment using a 2D HEC-RAS hydrodynamic model. These simulations were assembled into a training set for the DNNs, which were then used to forecast flooding depths and velocities. The DNNs' forecasts were compared to the hydrodynamic flood models, and showed good agreement, with a median RMSE of around 2 mm for cell flooding depths in the study area. The DNNs also improved forecast computation time significantly, with the DNNs providing forecasts between 34.2 and 72.4 times faster than conventional hydrodynamic models. The study area showed little change between HEC-RAS' Full Momentum Equations and Diffusion Equations, however, important numerical stability considerations were discovered that impact equation selection and DNN architecture configuration. Overall, the results from this study show that DNNs can greatly optimize hydrodynamic flood modeling, and enable near-real-time hydrodynamic flood forecasting.

  Flood inundation forecast provides critical information for emergency planning before and during flood events. High-resolution hydrodynamic modeling has become more accessible in recent years, however, predicting flood extents at the street and building levels in real-time is still computationally demanding. We present a hybrid process-based and data-driven machine learning (ML) approach for flood extent and inundation depth prediction.
