The landslide modelling system is developed based on High-Performance Integrated hydrodynamic Modelling System. It uses state-of-art numerical schemes (Godunov-type finite volume) to solve the 2D shallow water equations for landslide simulations. To support high-resolution flood simulations, HiPIMS is implemented on multiple GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) using CUDA/C++ languages to achieve high-performance computing. Since HiPIMS has a modular and flexible structure, it has a great potential to be further developed for other applications in hydrological science as long as the problem can be solved on a uniform rectangular grid. To find out how to use the model, please see the wiki.
The official version of HiPIMS-CUDA-DebrisFlow is developed and maintained by the Hydro-Environmental Modelling Labarotory, a research hub for technological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. The development of HiPIMS is led by Professor Qiuhua Liang and represents the effort of nearly two decades and many researchers.
