The Simulation of Flood Planning Based on PDE Yifeng Zhu, Jiakai Wang and Zhemin Liang Summary In this paper, the problem of flood caused by the breach of Saluda dam is addressed. The system of Saint Venant partial differential equations is used to solve the problem, which contains continuity equation and dynamic equation. In our model, the flood is characterized by its velocity, volume and duration. Two questions proposed in the MCM problem A are tackled in the process of modeling. The first is how much flooding will occur in Rawls Creek and how far it will extend back. The second is whether the flood could be so massive downstream that water would reach up to the S.C. State Capitol Building. To solve the partial differential equations, a proper difference schema and its iterative method are proposed. The corresponding Matlab program we developed to solve the equations simulates the flooding situations and some major conclusions are obtained. The answers to the two questions proposed are also worked out based on our assumptions about the parameter values and the conditions of the Saluda River. The answer to the first question is: the distance which the flood can extend back in the Rawls Creek depends on the overflowing time, that is the time span during which the lake water overflows the dam through the breach. The longer the overflowing time is, the farther the flood will extend back. For example, if the overflowing time is assumed to be 30 minutes, then the flood will extend about 1000m in the Rawls Creek and the largest volume of the flood is about 40460 cubic meters per second. The answer to the second question is: there exists a critical point of overflowing time. If the overflowing time is below that point, the Columbia City is safe; otherwise, it will get inundated. According to the computer simulation based on our assumptions, the critical point is 40 minutes and the flood will reach Columbia City after 83 minutes. The highest velo
