1-D Mathematical Modelling of Flood Wave Propagation

Abstract

According to the monitoring data number of floods in habitat areas is constantly growing. Thus, it is required to develop tools for flood prediction and prevention. Current paper presents a research of 1-D mathematical modeling of flood wave propagation application in Krasnodar region of Russian Federation. The modelling is based on the Saint-Venant equations. The modeling has been processed in MIKE 11 by DHI software. The results of the modeling prove a series of actions that have to be identified and realized in order to eliminate floods and flood aftermaths. The results of the modelling have proved that constant reservoir bed clearing but not liquidation of the reservoir is necessary.
