Course on Urban flooding

From June 25th to 26th, professor Emmanuel Mignot is coming to Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering-DIATI of Politecnico di Torino to deliver the 2-day course in "Urban flooding" on the following topics:

• Part 1: Definition: Hydrological regimes and urban flooding
• Part 2: Typology of events: Where does the water come from?
• Part 3: The New Paths of Water: Where does the water go?
• Part 4: Flow characteristics: How does the water flow?
• Part 5: Experimental Flow Modeling
• Part 6: Numerical simulation of flood events
• Part 7: Associated risks (criteria, maps, prevention, evacuation, communication)
• Part 8: Resilience of cities to floods

The lessons are taking place in classroom Bibolini (DIATI 3, ground floor):

• June 25th: 9:00-13:00
• June 26th: 9:00-13:00

Emmanuel Mignot is an associate professor in Environmental hydrodynamics, with a mainly experimental approach, at INSA Lyon (France).
His research topics mainly cover the river ecology, supercritical open-channel flows and urban flooding. Concerning the urban flood topics, he collaborates with several European universities, trying to set up a complementary research community.
