Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FLOODSAFE (ASESSMENT AND INITIAL STEPS FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF A SIMULATION SOFTWARE FOR THE STUDY AND MITIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF FLOODS ON CONSTRUCTIONS AND LANDSCAPE)
Période du rapport: 2015-07-01 au 2016-06-30
In the FLOODSAFE Proof of Concept (PoC) we have explored the industrial applicability and potential for commercialization of the new computational technology developed in the SAFECON Advanced Grant project for the study and mitigation of the effect of extrema water hazards (such as floods and tsunamis) on constructions, citizens and landscape.
The SAFECON software technology will help engineers to the enhanced design, building and maintenance of new protective constructions to flood and tsunamis, as well as for the surveillance, risk management and monitoring of existing constructions and landscape in these extreme situations. Up to date a commercial simulation code including such comprehensive features is not available.
In the FLOODSAFE PoC we have moved the SAFECON software technology towards the initial steps of an innovation process leading to a new simulation software tool (termed FLOOTSI, www.cimne.com/flootsi ) for the risk assessment and study of mudflows flows resulting from floods and tsunamis and their interaction with constructions and landscape. The ultimate aim is ensuring the safety of citizens, as well as of existing and new civil infrastructures and the environment during this kind of water hazards.
