A network flow model for interdependent infrastructures at the local scale网络流模型在当地规模的相互依赖的基础设施 1. Introduction The proper performance of infrastructure is essential for supporting security, economic prosperity and social well-being, particularly in industrial societies like the UK. However, achieving this is, and will continue to be, a difficult challenge. The present UK infrastructure is subject to ever increasing loads due to population growth and suffers from deterioration, which makes it more vulnerable(ICE, 2010). In addition, the infrastructure must adapt to climate change; weather-related hazards, such as floods and heatwaves,are projected to increase in frequency and intensity(UKCP09). These events can damage energy and water supply,transport, communication routes and other infrastructure systems. 基础设施的适当的性能是支持安全，经济的繁荣和社会的福祉必不可少的，特别是在工业社会，像英国。然而，实现这一目标是，并将继续是一个艰巨的挑战。目前英国基础设施受到不断增加的负载由于人口生长和患有恶化，这使得它更容易。此外，基础设施必须适应气候变化；与天气有关的灾害，如洪水和热浪，预计将增加的频率和强度。这些事件可以破坏能源和水的供应，交通，通信线路和其他基础设施系统。 Therefore, it is essential to develop efficient strategies for improving infrastructure resilience, and ensure continuousand reliable performance in the future. Numerical models that simulate infrastructure performance may significantly assist in the development of such strategies. However, in order to provide a realistic prediction of the performance of various infrastructure systems,especially when they are subject to weather-related hazards, it is important to account for interdependencies, i.e., when failure in one system may cause severe disruptions and/or failures in other systems. 因此，它是在未来发展提高改进基础设施的恢复的有效策略，并确保持续的性能可靠必不可少。数值模型模拟基础设施的性能可以显着协助发展这样的策略。然而，为了提供一个现实的预测对各种基础设施系统的性能，尤其是当他们受到与天气有关的灾害，它是考虑到相互依存的关系，即当失败的一个重要，系统可能会导致其他严重的中断和/或失败系统。 In this paper we present an extended, network-flow approach designed to simulate the performance of systems with infrastructural interdependencies.Nodes represent physical infrastructure assets,and associated processes of production, consumpti
