Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Flooding, be they natural or caused by dam breaking, are a threat to mankind civilization all over the world. Today, the need for more and more water storage and electricity as a modern sources of energy in the densely populated regions are compelled to build dam along large rivers around living spaces which in turn, increases the risk of more injury to the residents. According to UN, between 1963 and 1992 floods killed more people than any other natural disaster [1]. The complexity of the environmental flows and the insufficient knowledge of the underlying physical mechanisms induce still large uncertainties in both the assessment and policies for mitigation of flood hazard. This paper presents the VRvis flooding simulation project to develop a methodology and hydrodynamics solution based on an the AVL CFD package ( SWIFT) to develop flood hazard maps. 1 | |||||||||||||||
