Virtual Dike and Flood Simulator: Parallel distributed computing for flood early warning systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents two simulation modules –Virtual Dike and Flood Simulator– developed for flood Early Warning Systems (EWS). The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that (1) analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and (2) simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. Computational modules are invoked by workflow-based expert scenarios via the Common Information Space middleware. The Virtual Dike and Flood Simulator have been ported to the HPC Cloud system of SARA supercomputing centre in Amsterdam. Cloud system provides dynamic resource allocation and remote user control. Virtual Dike is a parallel FSI module for coupled simulation of porous flow and dike deformation, based on the finite element method. Efficiency of the distributed EWS and solver parallel performance are presented.

The aim of the Virtual Dike module is to develop an advanced multiscale m...
متن کاملFlood early warning system: design, implementation and computational modules
We present a prototype of the flood early warning system (EWS) developed within the UrbanFlood FP7 project. The system monitors sensor networks installed in flood defenses (dikes, dams, embankments, etc.), detects sensor signal abnormalities, calculates dike failure probability, and simulates possible scenarios of dike breaching and flood propagation. All the relevant information and simulation...

متن کاملCombining Data-driven Methods with Finite Element Analysis for Flood Early Warning Systems
We developed a robust approach for real-time levee condition monitoring based on combination of data-driven methods (one-side classification) and finite element analysis. It was implemented within a flood early warning system and validated on a series of full-scale levee failure experiments organised by the IJkdijk consortium in August-September 2012 in the Netherlands. Our approach has detecte...
