Visualizing risks through flood disaster simulations!

basic information

Kenichiro Kobayashi, Professor Graduate School of Science and Technology, Department of Environmental and Social Infrastructure, Field of Environmental Planning 【Recent Research Themes】 ● Recently, I have been interested in conducting behavioral and flow simulations of humans, organisms, and vehicles in conjunction with fluid simulations. In the past, I conducted climate change impact assessment research focused on Ghana in Africa, and more recently, I have been focusing on Nepal in South Asia. My original motivation came from my desire to contribute to developing countries during my student years. Lately, I often wonder if Japan has the capacity to support foreign countries given the weakness of the yen.

【Appeal Points to the Industry】 ● If it's at the city scale, simple flood calculations for the entire city can be completed in a day, for example, if Fugaku is operational. ● Some may shy away from Fugaku, but please consider simple calculations as merely estimates. Similar to a hospital's CT or MRI, it involves assessing potential problem areas through imaging. ● Ultimately, on-site verification will be necessary. I also believe that this does not contradict river administration or crisis management administration. ● In river basin flood control, the government has declared that all stakeholders should consider the safety and security of the basin as a personal matter, so there should be no logic of exclusion; I want to do what I can as an academic. 【Examples of Practical Application, Use Cases, and Utilization】 ● Estimation of flood control effects of the Kawabe River Dam in Kyushu ● Research on flood insurance with private insurance companies ● Research on flood forecasting ● Research on climate change impact assessment ● Joint research with JAXA's Facilities Department
