Development of the Three-Dimensional Prediction Method for Vehicles Transported by Floodflow

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a method to predict the transport behavior of vehicles in floodwaters.
• Developed a numerical model for flood flows considering vehicle dynamics.
• Created a three-dimensional numerical model simulating vehicle movement.
• Applied the model to analyze vertical and horizontal behaviors of vehicles in flood situations.
• Successfully calculated the rising and settling processes of vehicles as water depth increases.
• Demonstrated vehicle accumulation due to horizontal transport and collisions.
• Showed applicability of the model in predicting vertical stacking and deposition of vehicles.
