Flood modeling software combines 1D-2D simulation

摘要

Wallingford Software, the UK-based developer of hydraulic modeling software for the water industry, has announced the forthcoming release of Info Works 2D that simulates surface flood modeling. InfoWorks 2D will be available as a fully-integrated module within InfoWorks CS for collection system modeling, InfoWorks SD for storm drainage modeling, and with InfoWorks RS and FloodWorks for river floodplain modeling. Understanding and mitigating flooding is becoming a critical issue around the globe. Wallingford Software's Sales and Marketing Director Paul Banfield explained: "Analysis and prediction of potential flood extent, depth and velocity is a complex problem, particularly in urban areas where drainage networks can reduce flooding in some areas, while increasing it in others.
