(MCM 2005A)
Lake Murray in central South Carolina is formed by a large earthen dam, which was completed in 1930 for power production. Model the flooding downstream in the event there is a catastrophic earthquake that breaches the dam.
Two particular questions:
Rawls Creek is a year-round stream that flows into the Saluda River a short distance downriver from the dam. How much flooding will occur in Rawls Creek from a dam failure, and how far back will it extend?
Could the flood be so massive downstream that water would reach up to the S.C. State Capitol Building, which is on a hill overlooking the Congaree River?
水灾计划(美国竞赛2005年A题)
南卡罗来纳州中部的磨累河是由北部的一个巨大水坝形成的,这是在1930年为了发电而修建的,模拟一起洪水淹没下游的事件,这起事件是由于一次灾难性的地震损毁了水坝造成的。
两个问题:
Rawls Creek是水坝下游流入Saluda河的一条终年流动的河流,则当水坝损毁后在Rawls Creek将会出现多大的洪流,洪水的波及面将有多大?
S.C.国会大厦大楼在一座小山上,在S.C.国会大厦大楼能俯视Congaree 河。洪水能如此巨大顺流以致于水将扩展到S.C.国会大厦大楼吗?
