DEVS-Flood

Résumé du livre

Flood models are primarily valuable to governments, civil engineers, aid organizations, insurance companies, research groups, and specific individuals. There are existing discrete event models and numerical time step models for flooding that these groups use to generate static and dynamic flood inundation maps. When simulating the models to generate these maps, the scalability, accuracy, and performance are just some of parameters analyzed for how good the simulation is. This thesis focuses on these three parameters, with a special emphasis on scalability. A simple flood inundation model title DEVS-Flood is proposed in this work. DEVS-Flood is described using the discrete event system specification formalism. It is compared to existing models in accuracy, speed, and scalability. A custom C++ simulation of the model is developed and tested with 90 meter resolution 6000 by 6000 cell satellite elevation data from NASA.
