Short summary

This study applied the two-dimensional AdH (adaptive hydraulics) hydrodynamic model to a river reach to analyze flood hydraulics on complex floodplains. A detailed analysis of the floodwater dynamics was conducted using the modeling approach to examine the hydraulic linkage between the main channel and floodplains.
