8th international conference, Novatech 2013, Lyon, France, 23 – 27 June 2013An integrated numerical model is developed in the study for simulating the runoff processes in urban areas. A 1D model is used for calculating the rainfall-runoff hydrographs and the flow conditions in drainage networks. A 2D model is employed for routing flow on overland surface. Both models are solved by different numerical schemes and using different time steps with the flow through manholes adopted as model connections. The effluents and influents via manholes are determined by the weir or the orifice equations. Timing synchronisation between both models is taken into account to guarantee suitable model linkages.EPSRC: Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Counci
