Review of Software Packages for Local Intense Precipitation Flood Modeling

Abstract

This report documents the review of the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling approaches used to estimate local intense precipitation (LIP) flooding and their implementation in readily available simulation software packages. The review focused on a few representative simulation software packages because of the similarity of their underlying mathematical bases and the rainfall-runoff and hydraulic processes included. Their availability for use in estimating LIP flood hazards and for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff review of these estimates at the nuclear power plant (NPP) site scale were also considered.
