Abstract

To evaluate urban flood risk while considering spatial and temporal characteristics, this paper establishes an assessment method based on a coupled hydrodynamic model and a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. An assessment system is developed using hydrologic, social and economic factors. In addition, hydrology factors are obtained by the coupled hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic model is solved using the three-cascade method of the Saint–Venant equations for a river system, and the surface runoff is solved using a modified Roe-type approximate Riemann solver. The hydrology results are used as hydrologic factors and directly reflect the inundation of the subsequent assessment. Afterward, an analytic hierarchy process is used to calculate the weights of the assessment indices. Then, the urban flood risk is analyzed using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Five different rainfall events in Quzhou City are simulated and evaluated. The numerically computed results compare well with the statistical data and indicate an extreme inundation depth of more than 3 m. In addition, the assessment risk of Quzhou City is at level IV (high). This study shows that combining the assessment method with the coupled hydrodynamic model efficiently reflects the urban flood risk by considering flood, social and economic data.
