Numerical modeling of compound flooding in the traditional Malecón of Havana

Compound flooding, Iber-SWMM, numerical modeling, urban drainageAbstract
Compound flooding in urban coastal areas has increased due to climate change and the combination of extreme events such as heavy rainfall and sea level surges. This study presents the numerical modeling of compound flooding in the traditional Malecón of Havana using the Iber v3.2, SWMM v5.1, and Iber-SWMM models. Three scenarios were evaluated: pluvial, coastal, and compound flooding, identifying their impact on the urban drainage network. The results indicate that compound flooding is not a linear sum of individual effects but intensifies water levels and drainage system collapse. Numerical modeling enables the identification of critical areas and optimization of mitigation strategies against extreme events in coastal cities.
