Simulation-based collaborative decision support for surge floods prevention in St. Petersburg

摘要

The paper aims to implement a simulation-based collaborative decision support approach for flood control management in application to St. Petersburg surge floods, which are prevented by a complex of dams with several large openings. Despite the evolution of the numerical hydrodynamic models, hardware performance and computer technologies the accurate forecasting of storm surges and decision support for gates maneuvering is still an important issue. The prospective architecture and principal solutions of Flood Warning System with the emphasis on the simulation-based approach and collaborative decision support system on the basis of e-Science platform CLAVIRE are considered.
