AI Technical Summary
When using low-resolution DEM data in hydrodynamic simulation, existing technologies struggle to balance simulation accuracy and efficiency. While high-resolution DEM data offers detailed data, it requires extensive computation time and lacks effective methods for correcting elevation data.
By calculating the gradient of grid points corresponding to DEMs of different resolutions, correction coefficients are obtained and applied to the calculation of the bottom slope term in the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model to correct low-resolution DEM data and improve simulation accuracy and efficiency.
It achieves improved accuracy in two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation while ensuring computational efficiency, and the calculation process is simple, easy to operate, and easy to promote.
