RL3. Modeling of Environmental Systems & Risk Analysis

Group Leader: Manuel Castro Díaz

Description:

RL3 focuses on the development of mathematical technology for the risk management of hazards related to geophysical flows. More precisely, the goal is to obtain robust and fast solvers able to give faster than real-time reliable simulations that are useful tools in operational forecasting and risk prediction.
Our research, has dealt with design and analysis of depth-integrated mathematical models based on the hydrostatic pressure assumption or including dispersive effects; multilayer model for debris flows, bedload and/or suspended sediment models; efficient implementation of the numerical models in GPU architectures using innovative HPC techniques; exhaustive validation of the proposed models with laboratory and real data and model integration into Early Warning Systems related with natural hazards.
