Our research group at TU Berlin is working in the field of modelling flow and transport processes in surface waters and the subsurface. After a short introduction about our activities I will focus on two fields:Robust shallow water models: In recent years there has been a strong focus on the development of robust shallow solvers for complex hydraulic cases such as dam breaks, wetting and drying as well as flow transitions. In addition there has been a rapid development in surveying techniques (e.g. laser scanning) providing us with high resolution data about the geometry and physical properties of the systems considered. Combining these things allows us to use shallow water models in new application fields such as catchment hydrology. I will present related results which have been obtained with our computational tool HMS (Hydroinformatics Modeling System).Dual-permeability two-phase flow model: Within the framework of a research project dealing with landslides a dual-permeability two-phase flow model has been developed with DuMuX to simulate rainfall-induced infiltration and exfiltration at a hillslope in Austria. Model concepts, boundary conditions and results will be discussed.
