Fluid/Flood Analysis- Flooding model

Okay! I shall try to as clear as I can.

I m doing an " Academic" project in the hills of Himalayas; it is a two-phase project:

Phase 1

where I would like to generate barriers, obstructing the water drain routes and optimize the size and shape according to the intensity of these hydrological flows

Phase 2

and then produce building morphology around them through a genetic algorithm that works on sun path and other spatial criteria's.

So my question is, for Phase 1, Besides the usual drain layout simulation over surface and slope gradient analysis. How can I generate a flooding model that takes barriers into account ( that means water is striking walls and changing direction; getting collecting in the corners etc., ), and how can I get force vectors from these flows, that I can use to optimize the size and shape of these barriers.

The problem is that I don't want to be trapped in the CFD world because there is no way ( that I know of) where I can like Ansys or any other CFD software with grasshopper.

Any light on this topic would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mr A.

Hi Richard, I going with the graph theory methodology, can you shed some light on it. How to go forward with this graph theory approach.

I wrote a mesh drainage script in GHPython a while back you also might find useful. Attached a example definition.

Hi Andres

These look nice.. I will have a look at revert back to you. Thanks alot

Warm regards,

Mr. A.

Oh wait, forgot to attach the example. There you go.
