Why develop and benchmark models to support uncertainty analysis? • Two-dimensional models of floodplain hydraulics require a lot of computation time. • Increasing resolution requires increased computation. • Monte Carlo… also increases computation • Simple models: • Require less computation per time-step than a shallow water models. • Force modellers to think about the minimum process representation necessary to predict particular quantities. • Are generally not as widely applicable as shallow water models – thus we need to understand their limits. • Some may require shorter time-steps to remain stable especially at 1-10 m resolutions (Hunter et al., 2005).

EA 2D model benchmarking • Taken from Environment Agency 2D model benchmarking project • Simulation results from commercial codes available • ISIS2D, TUFLOW, SOBEK, MIKE FLOOD, InfoWorks2D • FlowRoute, JFLOW-GPU, Dynamic RFSM
Results – Valley filling following dam failure The frequently of velocity output had as much impact on hazards assessment as model physical complexity.
