Qs about Fast Flood Algorithm

[luzarquez]

Dear Professor Van den Bout,

I hope you’re doing well. My name is Luz Orozco, and I’m student in the Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation Master’s program at Politecnico di Milano. I’m currently working on my thesis, which focuses on flood damage models, and one of the hazard models I am analyzing implements your FastFlood algorithm.

I was wondering if it would be possible to dive a bit deeper into some specific aspects of your algorithm. I’m especially interested in understanding the parameters ‘Monotonic Delta’ and ‘Discharge Diffusivity Coeff,’ since they seem to show significant sensible in the area I’m studying (Lodi, Italy).

Thank you very much for your time and any guidance you might be able to share. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Luz Orozco
