Abstract

In this work we describe a first version of the simulation tool developed within the SMART-SED project. The two main components of the SMART-SED model consist in a data preprocessing tool and in a robust numerical solver, which does not require a priori identification of river beds and other surface run-off areas, thus being especially useful to provide accurate input data to more localized landslide and debris-flow models. Furthermore, a geostatistical tool is available to downscale SoilGrids particle size fractions (psf) data to a given resolution. The psf data is employed also within the SCS-CN method, used to model the infiltration process. The results of a complete numerical simulation are reported and possible future developments of the model are discussed.
