Abstract
Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage. Mapping the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few years such information was available for only a handful of well-studied locations. This review surveys recent progress to address this fundamental issue through a novel combination of appropriate physics, efficient numerical algorithms, high-performance computing, new sources of big data, and model automation frameworks. The review describes the fluid mechanics of inundation and the models used to predict it, before going on to consider the developments that have led in the last five years to the creation of the first true fluid mechanics models of flooding over the entire terrestrial land surface. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, Volume 54 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
期刊介绍：
The Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics is a longstanding publication dating back to 1969 that explores noteworthy advancements in the field of fluid mechanics. Its comprehensive coverage includes various topics such as the historical and foundational aspects of fluid mechanics, non-newtonian fluids and rheology, both incompressible and compressible fluids, plasma flow, flow stability, multi-phase flows, heat and species transport, fluid flow control, combustion, turbulence, shock waves, and explosions.
Recently, an important development has occurred for this journal. It has transitioned from a gated access model to an open access platform through Annual Reviews' innovative Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now freely accessible to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
This new approach not only ensures broader dissemination of research in fluid mechanics but also fosters a more inclusive and collaborative scientific community.
