objectiveS
This training course is for professionals, scientists, managers and students wishing to learn the bidimensional flood modelling software FLO-2D (http://www.flo-2d.com/). FLO-2D, approved by FEMA for both riverine studies and unconfined alluvial fans, is used in Italy and worldwide to simulate river overbank flooding, unconfined alluvial fan floods, urban flooding, watershed rainfall/runoff, coastal flooding, tsunamis/storm surges, and mud and debris flows. The course will also introduce the RiverFLO-2D finite modeling system for detailed analysis of river hydrodynamics, sediment transport and bed evolution. This 4-day training class, designed for both entry-level and more advanced users, will teach participants from the basics to the most advanced features of the last version of FLO-2D. A brief theoretical introduction and getting-started lessons on the FLO-2D GIS interface (day 1), followed by detailed presentations of the various model components and new features of the 2009 version also presenting recent case studies of Italian flood map updating projects (day 2 and 3), will guide participants to day 4 where they will practice applying the model on their own and discussing about results of their custom-made projects.
