Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydraulic engineering, and particularly relates to an AI real-time simulation method for urban hydrology multi-physical field decoupling supervision of flood. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of global urbanization, the population and infrastructure of cities are highly concentrated, and the economic losses and social impacts caused by urban flood disasters are becoming increasingly serious. According to statistics, the annual economic losses caused by urban floods worldwide have increased several times in the past few decades, posing a great threat to the life and property safety of urban residents. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the changes in underlying surface caused by urbanization and the increase in extreme rainfall events caused by climate change. During the process of urbanization, a large number of impervious surfaces appear, which change the natural hydrological cycle, making it difficult for rainwater to naturally penetrate, and the surface runoff rapidly increases; at the same time, climate change makes the intensity and frequency of heavy rain significantly increase, further exacerbating the risk of urban floods.

[0003] In the field of urban flood risk management, flood simulation models are an important tool to ensure urban safety. However, the existing single driving models (physically driven numerical models, data-driven surrogate models) still have many limitations and are difficult to meet the actual application requirements.

[0004] Physically driven numerical models are commonly used means for current urban flood simulation, such as multi-module structured models, which can comprehensively simulate urban hydrodynamics by coupling hydrological runoff modules, one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation modules, and two-dimensional shallow water equation modules, etc. However, the calculation cost is extremely high. In particular, two-dimensional high-resolution hydrodynamic models, although they have high simulation accuracy for surface flood dynamics, their running time is long and cannot meet the real-time requirements. In actual flood emergency management, accurate flood prediction information is often needed within a short time to guide decision-making, and the high calculation cost of such models makes it difficult for them to be widely used in practice.

[0005] To solve the timeliness problem, data-driven surrogate models, such as Response Surface Models (RSM) and Low-Fidelity Models (LFM), have become the main strategy to improve computational efficiency. As an end-to-end model, RSM greatly reduces the computational cost by approximating the behavior of high-fidelity models through statistical or empirical formulas. However, RSM has difficulty in ensuring convergence under multi-module coupling conditions, and due to the black-box nature of the model process, domain experts have doubts about its credibility. In addition, although LFM retains physical information to some extent, it may lose key information when dealing with complex urban drainage systems, especially when the resolution is adjusted, the coupling between the surface module and the drainage system may fail, leading to numerical instability or even simulation failure. In addition, the common defects of these data-driven surrogate models are the lack of explainability and physical consistency. In practical application scenarios, urban flood problems not only involve complex water flow movement, but also closely related to various factors such as urban topography, drainage pipe network layout, land use type, etc. The lack of explainability makes the model unable to provide clear physical mechanism explanation for decision-makers when facing actual problems, and it is difficult to effectively analyze and adjust the model results according to the actual situation. Real-world urban hydrological and hydrodynamic systems follow strict physical laws such as mass conservation and momentum conservation. However, the above-mentioned surrogate models often fail to incorporate these physical laws into the model construction process. Taking mass conservation as an example, in the drainage pipe network, the water inflow of a node should be equal to the sum of the water outflow of the node and the change of the node's storage water. However, the surrogate model may not accurately reflect this relationship, leading to unreasonable simulation results in the physical layer. The lack of physical consistency makes the model's output deviate greatly from the actual situation when simulating extreme rainfall or special drainage conditions, and cannot provide reliable basis for urban flood control and disaster reduction.

[0006] Existing research shows that for the behavior of complex urban hydrological and hydrodynamic systems such as urban flooding, by decoupling the system, especially emphasizing the attention to dynamic information of the drainage system, the accuracy and explainability of the model can be improved to some extent, but the existing methods only stay at the level of "physical supervision information", without deeply integrating physical mechanisms (such as the core constraints of Saint-Venant equation and shallow water equation), which cannot explain the causal relationship of the flood process from the essence, and the adaptability to complex urban environments (such as differences in pipe network layout and topographic changes) is insufficient.

[0007] An article by Hancheng Ren, Bo Pang, Gang Zhao, Haijun Yu, Peinan Tian, and Chenran Xie entitled "Incorporating dynamic drainage supervision into deep learning for accurate real-time flood simulation in urban areas" published in Water Research in November 2024 proposes that urban flooding has become a common problem faced by cities worldwide. Urban flood dynamics differ significantly from those of natural catchments, mainly due to complex drainage systems and high spatial heterogeneity of urban surfaces, which pose considerable challenges for accurate and rapid flood simulation. In this study, a new urban drainage supervised flood model (UDFM) for urban flood simulation is proposed. Urban flood processes are decoupled into drainage routing and surface flood inundation. Based on a physical and deep learning drainage model, a hybrid module combining deep learning with dimensionality reduction algorithms is adopted to convert the 1D drainage overflow process into a high-resolution spatiotemporal 2D flood inundation process. Compared with existing advanced surrogate models for rapid flood simulation, UDFM more comprehensively and accurately represents the role of drainage systems in urban flood dynamics, providing high-resolution predictions of flood depth and velocity. When applied to a highly urbanized area in Shenzhen, UDFM-deep learning demonstrates real-time prediction capability and high accuracy, especially in simulating flow velocity, with average Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients improved by 0.112 and 0.251 compared with response surface models (RSM) and low-fidelity models (LFM), respectively. These findings highlight the critical importance of drainage system overflow in simulating urban surface floods. UDFM improves accuracy, flexibility, interpretability, and scalability without requiring additional physical model construction. This study introduces a new hierarchical surrogate model structure for urban flood simulation, providing valuable insights for rapid flood warning and risk management in urban environments. The drawback of this method is that it does not consider the physical processes of urban hydrology and hydrodynamics and the law of conservation of mass, which cannot regulate the convergence direction of deep learning techniques to align with disciplinary prior knowledge, limiting the generalization ability of the model in complex urban hydrological situations.

[0008] A city flood disaster prediction method is disclosed in Chinese patent application CN109146140A, which comprises the following steps: step 1, dividing the city into catchment areas based on geographic information data; step 2, calculating the water capacity of the catchment area; step 3, based on weather forecast, calculating the water accumulation of the catchment area in the future; step 4, when the water accumulation of the catchment area is greater than the warning threshold, issuing a flood disaster warning. The disadvantage of this method is that it only relies on geographic information data and weather forecast data for prediction, the data source is too single, lacks simulation of such complex runoff generation and runoff concentration mechanism, and is prone to underestimate the flood risk.

[0051] Execute step 111, input the historical rainfall data into the one-dimensional drainage network submodule, and calculate the micro-constraint data. The micro-constraint data includes nodal overflow and water accumulation. The one-dimensional drainage network submodule consists of a continuity equation and a momentum equation, which are expressed as follows:

[0081] Example Two

[0082] The prior art proposes a new hierarchical surrogate model structure for urban flood simulation, providing valuable insights for rapid flood warning and risk management in urban environments. The disadvantage of this method is that it does not consider the physical processes of urban hydrology and water dynamics and the law of conservation of mass, which cannot standardize the convergence direction of the deep learning technique to align with the subject prior knowledge, resulting in limited generalization ability of the model under complex urban hydrological situations. Specifically, urban flood evolution essentially follows the principles of mass and momentum conservation described by the Saint-Venant equations. However, when UDFM converts the drainage overflow process into a two-dimensional flooding process, it mainly relies on data-driven deep learning modules and fails to explicitly embed the physical mechanisms of surface-pipe network water flow interaction (such as key hydrodynamic processes like orifice outflow and unsteady flow in open channels). The absence of such physical mechanisms may lead to flow balance deviations or abnormal flow velocity distributions under extreme rainfall conditions, drainage system blockage, or pipe network pressure flow in non-design conditions. For example, in the Shenzhen case, although high-resolution prediction is achieved, when facing sudden changes in drainage capacity, the model may accumulate water volume calculation errors due to the lack of mass conservation constraints.

[0083] The "urban hydrology multi-physical field decoupling supervision AI flood real-time simulation method" provided by the application is just for the core problem of the existing model in the calculation efficiency and the lack of physical mechanism fusion: through hierarchical decoupling of the urban hydrology and water power system (separation of one-dimensional drainage pipe network sub-module and two-dimensional surface flood module), combined with multi-scale physical constraint supervision (microscopic pipe network mass conservation, mesoscopic surface flow momentum conservation, macroscopic system water balance), the physical laws such as Saint-Venant equation and shallow water equation are embedded in the deep learning model training, realizing the deep integration of "data-driven rapid calculation" and "strict constraint of physical mechanism". The method breaks through the traditional model "non-this or that" driving mode, provides a new path for solving the key problems of urban flood real-time early warning, drainage system optimization and the like, and has important practical significance for improving the urban flood risk management ability.

[0084] The application realizes efficient, accurate and physical law-compliant urban flood simulation through hierarchical decoupling, multi-scale physical constraint embedding and deep learning technology. The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0085] I. Core technical framework: hierarchical decoupling and multi-physical field constraint fusion

[0086] The urban hydrology and water power system is decoupled into "efficient one-dimensional drainage pipe network sub-module" (Saint-Venant equation driven) and "lightweight two-dimensional surface flood module" (data driven combined with shallow water equation constraint), and a "micro-mesoscopic-macroscopic" multi-scale physical constraint supervision system is constructed:

[0087] 1. Microscopic constraint (drainage pipe network layer): based on Saint-Venant equation, mass and momentum conservation constraints are applied to pipe network nodes and pipe sections to ensure node water balance (inflow = outflow + water accumulation change) and avoid non-physical overflow flow prediction;

[0088] 2. Mesoscopic constraint (surface flood layer): based on the two-dimensional shallow water equation, momentum conservation and mass conservation joint constraints are applied to the surface flow field to ensure that the velocity and water depth distribution conforms to the physical law of water flow motion;

[0089] 3. Macroscopic constraint (system layer): through the global water balance equation, the total inflow, total outflow and total storage capacity relationship of the entire urban water system is constrained to ensure macroscopic physical consistency.

[0090] II. Model architecture: urban flood intelligent physical prediction model (IPPM4UF), as shown in Figure 2 The "decoupling-constraint-prediction" three-level architecture is constructed, including three core modules:

[0091] 1. Decoupled physical module (microscopic + mesoscopic)

[0092] One-dimensional drainage pipe network sub-module: in the simulation of urban drainage pipe network, one-dimensional Saint-Venant equation set is the basic equation for describing the unsteady flow in the pipe, which consists of continuity equation and momentum equation, as follows:

[0093] The continuity equation and the momentum equation are respectively expressed as:

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] wherein, A : cross-sectional area of water (m 2 ), which is related to pipe fullness, pipe diameter, etc. t : time (s) Q : cross-sectional flow (m 3 / s), Q uA , u is the cross-sectional average flow velocity; x : coordinate along the pipe axis (m) q l : lateral inflow rate per unit length of pipe (m 2 / s), such as rainwater inflow or leakage. h : water depth of cross section (m), reflecting the water level height in the pipe; g : gravitational acceleration (m / s 2 ); s 0: pipe bottom slope (dimensionless); s f : friction slope (dimensionless), reflecting the energy loss caused by water flow resistance; u l : flow velocity of lateral inflow (m / s).

[0097] The continuity equation ensures the conservation of water flow mass in the pipe, i.e. the change of cross-sectional water volume per unit time is equal to the sum of the difference between inflow and outflow and lateral inflow; the momentum equation considers the effects of gravity, friction and lateral inflow on water flow movement, and describes the change of flow with time and space.

[0098] Two-dimensional surface flood sub-module: in the simulation of urban surface flood, two-dimensional shallow water equation set is used to describe the water flow movement state and characteristics of urban surface during flood period, showing the diffusion of flood in horizontal direction, the change of flow velocity and the water depth distribution in different areas. The present application adopts a fully distributed hydrological calculation method, coupling the runoff process to the right side of the continuity equation, such as the additional source term.

[0099]

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] where, t denotes time; x and y denotes spatial coordinates; h is the water depth; z is the water surface height; u and v are the flow velocities in the x and y directions, respectively; V is the magnitude of the flow velocity, i.e. ; r is the rainfall intensity; f is the infiltration intensity; c is the drainage intensity; n is the roughness coefficient; g is the gravitational acceleration;

[0103] 2. Multi-physical field constraint supervision module

[0104] Based on the "decoupling-constraint-prediction" three-level architecture, the model realizes the deep integration of mechanism and data through hierarchical physical constraints. The following is the loss function reconstruction for micro, meso, and macro physical constraints:

[0105] (1) Microscopic mass conservation loss (Saint-Venant equation constraint)

[0106] Core goal: Force one-dimensional pipe network module to satisfy the continuity equation and momentum equation residual constraints of the Saint-Venant equation.

[0107] Loss function design:

[0108]

[0109] where the first term: based on the continuity equation residual, ensure the balance of cross-section water volume change and side inflow per unit time; the second term: based on the momentum equation residual, constrain the physical consistency of flow change, gravity, friction, and side inflow momentum transmission; the weight coefficient γ 1, γ 2 dynamically adjusts the balance between data fitting and physical constraints.

[0110] (2) Meso-momentum conservation loss (shallow water equation constraint)

[0111] Core goal: Force two-dimensional surface flood module to satisfy the momentum conservation and mass transport constraints of the shallow water equation.

[0112] Loss function design:

[0113]

[0114] where, x-direction and y-direction momentum equation residuals: constrain the momentum variation of surface water flow in the horizontal direction, pressure gradient and friction resistance, respectively; roughness coefficient n The physical mechanism of surface resistance is introduced by the Manning formula; the residual term directly reflects the degree of momentum conservation that the shallow water equation does not satisfy.

[0115] Pure data-driven models (such as UDFM) do not explicitly consider the law of momentum conservation, resulting in distortion of key hydrodynamic characteristics such as water flow direction and flow velocity distribution. For example, in areas such as overpass topography, the predicted results may appear to violate the actual water flow direction. The present invention can minimize the momentum equation residual, and the flow velocity field predicted by the model u , v strictly satisfies the law of momentum conservation, especially in complex topography such as steep slopes and river junctions, which can more accurately simulate the water flow turning and energy dissipation process.

[0116] (3) Macroscopic water balance loss (global conservation constraint)

[0117] Core goal: Force the system as a whole to satisfy the global water balance, including the water exchange between the pipe network and the surface.

[0118] Loss function design:

[0119]

[0120] where, the first term: global integral based on the continuity equation of the two-dimensional shallow water equation, constraining the overall water balance of the surface runoff-infiltration-drainage process; the second term: based on the input and output flow difference and the total water change at the interface between the pipe network and the surface, to ensure the water conservation across modules; ΔV total is the total water storage change of the system, which is calculated in real time through differentiable programming technology.

[0121] In urban flood simulation, global water balance is the core index to test the physical reasonableness of the model. The traditional numerical driving artificial intelligence model has the problem of inaccurate water exchange across systems, which makes the local conservation and global balance disconnected, resulting in the accumulation of errors in long-time simulation, making the flood simulation deviate from the actual situation. This design can minimize the global integral term to ensure that the surface water change at any time is strictly balanced with the rainfall, infiltration and drainage process.

[0122] (4) Total loss function integration

[0123] L total = L data + L micro + L meso+ L macro

[0124] Optimization strategy:

[0125] Hierarchical weight distribution: γ 1~ γ 4 Adopt adaptive learning mechanism, dynamically adjust the constraint strength according to the training stage;

[0126] Physically guided gradient propagation: through the automatic differentiation of the residual term, the direct correction of the physical equation to the neural network parameters is realized.

[0127] 3. Artificial intelligence prediction module

[0128] Rainfall-inflow encoder: adopt recurrent neural network (such as LSTM) to extract rainfall time series features, capture the dynamic influence of rainfall intensity, duration and spatial distribution;

[0129] Inflow-flood decoder: combined with data dimensionality reduction techniques such as empirical orthogonal function (Empirical Orthogonal Function, EOF), high-dimensional hydrodynamic data (water depth, flow velocity) are compressed into low-dimensional time modes, through recurrent neural network mapping inflow data to flood spatio-temporal distribution, realizing sub-second level fast prediction;

[0130] Multi-task learning: jointly optimize the rainfall-inflow-flood mapping relationship, require the decoupling variables of each system to meet the multi-scale physical constraints at the same time.

[0131] Example three
