Numerical Simulation of Catastrophic Flood: the Case Study of Hypothetical Failure of the Bielkowo Hydro–Power Plant Reservoir
Abstract
The numerical modeling of flood wave propagation following the hypo-thetical breaks of the embankments of the Bielkowo hydro–power plant storage reservoir (Kolbudy II Reservoir) on the Radunia River in Poland have been presented. The results of computations were used to estimate the parameters of the flood waves, which are indispensable for the flood zone determination and mapping and then for the flood risk analysis. When estimating the reach and area of the inundation, related to the em-bankments failures, digital terrain model and mathematical model of flood wave propagation are necessary. For the numerical simulations of flood the mathematical model of free surface, two–dimensional unsteady water flow was applied. Four locations of potential breaks of the reser-voir embankments were considered. The computed flood zones were pre-sented on the flood hazard maps. The maps have been used by the local authorities and the dam owner to manage the flood risk related to hydro–power plants operations on the Radunia River. This type of research has been done for the first time for the water plant managed by the ENERGA Elektrownie Straszyn.
