Distributed simulation of city inundation by coupled surface and subsurface porous flow for urban flood decision support system
We present a decision support system for flood early warning and disaster
management. It includes the models for data-driven meteorological predictions,
for simulation of atmospheric pressure, wind, long sea waves and seiches; a
module for optimization of flood barrier gates operation; models for stability
assessment of levees and embankments, for simulation of city inundation
dynamics and citizens evacuation scenarios. The novelty of this paper is a
coupled distributed simulation of surface and subsurface flows that can predict
inundation of low-lying inland zones far from the submerged waterfront areas,
as observed in St. Petersburg city during the floods. All the models are
wrapped as software services in the CLAVIRE platform for urgent computing,
which provides workflow management and resource orchestration.Comment: Pre-print submitted to the 2013 International Conference on
