FLUMEN - Dinàmica Fluvial i Enginyeria Hidrològica
FLUMEN és un institut universitari de recerca de titularitat mixta entre la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya i el Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numèrics en Enginyeria. FLUMEN té com objecte desenvolupar activitats de recerca, assessorament, formació i transferència de tecnologia en els camps de la Dinàmica Fluvial i de l'Enginyeria Hidrològica. FLUMEN fou creat per la Generalitat de Catalunya mitjançant l'ordre ECO/305/2012 de 3 d'octubre (DOGC de 17 d'octubre de 2012).
The group's main goal is research and consultation in river dynamics and surface hydrology. For over fifteen years, the group has worked in R&D in these areas. At present, the consolidated working lines are as follows:
1) Urban hydrology. Large-scale rainwater drainage systems and flooding in urban environments.
2) The effect of reservoirs on natural river behaviour.
3) Impact of infrastructures on natural hydrological characteristics.
4) Floods and measures for minimising the risk of inundation.
5) River restoration.
6) Physical limnology of reservoirs.
7) Dam hydraulics.
8) Design and automation of channels.
A further objective is to organise a multidisciplinary team in river dynamics. Ten years ago, the group began to cooperate with members of the Department of Ecology at the University of Barcelona. The cooperation is based on lecturing, PhD supervision, scientific publications, research projects and consulting. UPC and the UB have recently signed a framework agreement that aims to strengthen t

Extension of 2D shallow water models to hydrological modelling
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper we discuss some critical aspects that should be considered in order to extend and apply a numerical model based on the 2D shallow water equations(2D-SWE) to distributed hydrological modelling. We also detail ... -
A machine learning-based surrogate model for the identification of risk zones due to off-stream reservoir failure
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWith the modification of the Regulations of the Hydraulic Public Domain of Spain in 2008, approximately 70.000 owners of off-stream reservoirs are obligated to present a classification assessment on the potential risk due ... -
Modeling pressurized flow through hydraulic structures and bridges using a 2D-SWE-based model
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwo-dimensional (2D) hydraulic models solve the Shallow Water Equations (SWE) for the simulation of free surface flows. The necessity of considering in the calculations specific hydraulic structures, such as bridges, gates, ... -
Discrepancies on the spilled volume in the Aznalcóllar mine disaster
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe failure of the pond that stored the tailing of the mining activity of Aznalcóllar (1998) supposed one of the most catastrophic mine disasters ever worldwide. More than 400 scientific publications, including two special ... -
'SUDS-lineales' para reducir el riesgo de inundación considerando escenarios de Cambio Climático
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessLos Sistemas Urbanos de Drenaje Sostenible (SUDS) suponen una alternativa válida para dar solución a diversos problemas del drenaje urbano. Su aplicación, generalmente de carácter puntual, es limitada y puede no ser efectiva ... -
Revisiting the hydraulics of the Aznalcóllar mine disaster
(2022-06)
Article
Open AccessThe Aznalcóllar tailings pond failure (1998) is regarded as one of the severe ecological mine disasters ever reported. The spill of the mine tailings affected more than 60 km of the Agrio and Guadiamar rivers and caused ... -
Experimental characterization and two-dimensional hydraulic-hydrologic modelling of the infiltration process through permeable pavements
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessPermeable pavements are a common solution for wearing course layers in roads and urban areas. They are composed by highly porous materials with permeability several orders of magnitude above of the natural terrain. This ... -
Iber V3. 6. Módulo de transporte de sedimento de fondo para mezclas
(2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEn este apartado se presenta el módulo de transporte de fondo para material no uniforme, es decir, cuando el sedimento transportado por un río no puede caracterizarse por un único diámetro. Es un hecho que un río que es ... -
Iber V3. Módulo de drenaje urbano
(2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEl flujo de agua en zona urbana presenta una complejidad considerable respecto el flujo en zona no urbano. En primer lugar, el agua puede circular por la superficie (sistema de drenaje mayor) y/o por la red de colectores, ... -
Numerical and experimental approaches to estimate discharge coefficients and energy loss coefficients in pressurized grated inlets
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-12)
Article
Open AccessNumerical models concerning inlet systems are run to assess the hydraulic performance of existing or new systems and estimate the flow interchanges between the surface overland and sewer flows. In most programs, these ... -
