Abstract :
Various reasons cause floods in cities, RoboCup Rescue simulation system has been designed so that various disasters can be plugged into the existing system. However, it is hard to handle water in RoboCup Rescue simulators. In this paper, we show flood simulation based on diffusion equation model is easily implemented using IDSS and IDSS´s scalability is useful for flood simulations.
