ON THE INUNDATION PREDICTION, PRESENT STATE AND MATTERS TO BE RESOLVED

Abstract

In this review paper, the state of the art flood inundation prediction model is reviewed. Firstly the applications of flood inundation prediction model for inundation risk, anti-disaster activity and evacuation guidance, multiple disaster of earthquakes and floods are reviewed. We compared several approaches utilized for flood inundation prediction, including Cartesian grid model, generalized curve-linear coordinates, unstructured grid model and others. Trend in grid point number utilized for the inundation prediction modelling is also summarized.
