INTRODUCTION
One of 21 research projects to fill knowledge gaps
The next edition of ARR will provide guidance on appropriate
usage
The aims of the project, therefore, were to develop guidance on:
model conceptualisation and representation of hydrological and
hydraulic processes, inclusive of loss modelling;
influence of the conceptualisation on the input data;
influence of the conceptualisation on parameter estimation and
the uncertainty in parameter estimation;
predictive uncertainty; and
analysis of model output.
No promotion of software

IDENTIFIED NEED FOR


GUIDENCE

2D models have become tool of choice


2D model better represents storage
which challenges aspects of ARR 87
peak burst approach
latest trend in Australian practice is to
use 2D models as finely distributed
hydrological models

AIM
Aim Stage 1 of Project 15 was to consolidate existing
knowledge and practice and to highlight deficiencies in the
available information.

Stage 2: Testing of emerging areas or areas identified as


requiring further research.

DIRECT RAINFALL
BACKGROUND

Relatively new approach


Removes need for hydrologic model
Very few published studies (Caddis et al
2008, Clark et al 2008)

No natural gauged catchments with


LIDAR data were available until very
recently

RECOMMENDATIONS

Momentum transfer

Interaction between flows in the main channel of rivers and on


floodplains and the incorporation of these effects in numerical models,

Connections between 1D and 2D models and momentum transfer,

Testing of commercial software to predict the velocity and hydraulic


hazard distribution of a test channel compared to the theoretical
distributions.

These models should be tested under the following conditions:


compound channels,
meandering channels, and
urban areas.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Obstructions
Buildings
flow obstructions or ineffective flow area,
increased roughness
temporary storage
Testing of modelling of small-scale features beyond the
resolution of the model, particularly features likely to control
flow behaviour
buildings,
fences, and
walls).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Test catchments
At the time of writing no catchment in
Australia meets the intensive data
requirements set out below for a suitable test
data set:

pluviograph records,
topographic data (channel cross sections, ALS data etc)
gauged catchment,
calibration data, and
information regarding roughness values.
