  abstract = {{U}rban flood modeling is essential for understanding physical phenomena and enhancing flood forecasting. {T}he relevance of these numerical tools must be assessed with flow measurements which are sparse for real floods. {T}his article assesses the capability of state-of-the-art 2{D} (with or without the k-epsilon turbulence model) and 3{D} (with the k-omega {SST} turbulence model) numerical models in reproducing the characteristics of urban flood flows within a realistic street network using an experimental dataset. {T}he results show that all models can predict the flow discharge distribution and flow depths inside the district. {T}he 3{D} model is always slightly more accurate, especially in zones where the flow is strongly perturbed. {T}he comparison of numerical and experimental velocity profiles across streets highlights the need for a turbulence model to represent recirculation areas of finite length after crossroads and obtain a more realistic velocity field and water elevation profile.},
