Investigation of distributed-porosity fields for urban flood modelling using single-porosity models

Porosity-based model rely on the assumption that an urban area can be compared to a porous medium, where the porosity is defined as the ratio between the actual area available to the flow, i.e. not occupied by buildings, and the total area of the considered urban environment. In classical single-por...
