Virtual Dike: multiscale simulation of dike stability
We present a Virtual Dike simulation module developed as a part of a flood Early Warning System (EWS) for the UrbanFlood project. The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. The aim of the Virtual Dike module is to develop an advanced multiscale m...
متن کاملFlood Prevention by Optimal Dike Heightening
Dike height optimization is of major importance to the Netherlands since a large part of the country is below sea level and high water levels in rivers may cause floods. In this paper we propose a cost-benefit analysis to determine optimal dike heights. We improve the model proposed by Van Dantzig (1956) after a devastating flood in the Netherlands in 1953. For one important class of the dike i...
متن کاملStatistical Evaluation of Historical Dike Failure Mechanism
Statistical evaluation of historical dike failure mechanism The failure mechanism of flood protection dikes includes physical (geotechnical, seepage) processes leading to a dike breach. An awareness of the failure mechanism is required directly in dike stability calculations and indirectly for risk calculations. Statistics of historical data indicate among others the distribution and frequency ...
متن کاملApplying Energy Autonomous Robots for Dike Inspection
This article presents an exploratory study of an energy-autonomous robot that can be deployed on the Dutch dykes. Based on theory in energy harvesting from sun and wind and the energy-cost of locomotion an analytic expression to determine the feasible daily operational time of such a vehicle is composed. The parameters in this expression are identified using lab results and weather statistics. ...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Modeling of Dike-induced Deformation
Introduction: The Tharsis region of Mars is characterized by large volcanic and tectonic centers with distinct sets of graben systems. Many of the radially oriented grabens have been inferred to form in response to intrusion of magmatic dikes. This interpretation is based primarily upon early physical and numerical (boundary element) models that were developed originally to understand surface d...
