Mathematical modelling of the operation of a multistage flood control system using parallel computations

Abstract

Due to the increase in the number of floods, the urgent task is to reduce the risk of flooding the important areas. The existing hydraulic structures for flood accumulation may no longer be enough; therefore, it is necessary to place new objects in the river basin. The paper proposes an improved previous mathematical model for the analysis and selection of the location and basic parameters of self-regulating hydroelectric systems in a river basin using computer modelling with the possibility of parallel computations. It is possible to quickly evaluate the results of adding new structures and their contribution to reducing the risk of floods.
