The Economic Loss Estimate of Dam Break Based on 2D Dam Break-Wave Numerical Simulation

Abstract:

A 2D numerical model based on Boltzmann equation and an unstructured FVM grid with a kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS) scheme was developed to simulate dam break-wave. As an example, propagation of the dam-break wave of one reservoir dam at Yuhang District of Hangzhou in Hangzhou was simulated by this model. Using regional economy, population, and geography data of 2008, the economic loss caused by dam failure was evaluated. The result shows that total economic loss is about 20% of the GDP in Yuhang, which is close to the conclusion of some existing researches. It is foreseeable that this method would to be used more widely in Zhejiang for dam safety management.
