Visualizing risks through flood disaster simulations!
Keywords: Flood, numerical simulation, human behavior, hazard map, Fugaku, flood control dam, rice paddy dam, climate change, collaboration with meteorology, flood insurance.
I studied abroad in Germany and obtained a doctorate, during which I conducted research on multiphase flow in underground environments. I created a model to simulate the transport processes of greenhouse gas methane in underground environments. In Europe, it is often the case that numerical computation experts and experimental/observational experts are separate, which is somewhat different from Japanese researchers who tend to conduct both experiments/observations and computations themselves to deepen their insights. I am not implying superiority, but I learned the rational thinking of Germans. After that, I returned to Japan and began research on flood disasters. While my focus is on numerical computation, I also examine community-based flood mitigation measures with local residents, conduct research related to climate change, study flood forecasting in collaboration with advanced weather simulations, research on paddy field dams, research on flood insurance, and develop evacuation behavior models, as well as conduct hydrological statistics research. Leveraging my experience in Germany's specialized numerical computation research, I also perform flood calculations using the Fugaku supercomputer.
