AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient for quickly and accurately simulating the flow path, reach, and deposition depth of debris flows in complex terrains. Furthermore, high-precision numerical methods consume significant computational resources, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid simulation and multi-scenario assessment.
A lightweight numerical simulation method based on cellular automata model is adopted. Representative paths are extracted through particle swarm optimization and weighted K-means clustering. The spatiotemporal distribution of flow depth and velocity is calculated by combining the one-dimensional Saint-Venant equation and mapped back to a two-dimensional terrain grid to achieve rapid generation of the two-dimensional spatiotemporal distribution of debris flow flow depth.
It enables rapid and accurate debris flow simulation in complex terrain, reduces computational resource consumption, and is suitable for rapid engineering assessment and emergency decision-making.
