Abstract

In the course of this thesis, a software solution that can be used to handle the simulation and visualization of multiple flooding scenarios was developed. Multiple alternatives can be simulated at once, and the user can jump between various simulation states and explore them at will. New alternatives can be explored by changing parameters or introducing events into the simulation. The thesis is centered around the study of breach-closure procedures used to repair the damage done to the levees of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. A simulation scenario resembling the original study was made and used to explore alternative ways of closing the breach. The results of the simulation are rendered to the user using the screen-space fluid with curvature-flow rendering-method. To allow ease of exploration, additional views that allow the user to compare simulation states were developed. These views show which buildings are threatened in various states, and the properties of the simulated fluid across multiple states. It is shown that these views follow a common approach that can be used to create new comparative renderings.
