An Experimental Study on Underwater Walking in Flood Disaster Evacuation

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental study on walking in a stream at flood disaster evacuation. By observing the walking speed in water and people's psychology at the same time under the condition of simulated flood flow, the various condition of walking in the stream is studided. The hydraulic condition for feasible safe evacuation is obtained. The results can provide a quantitative reference for the flood disarster evacuation plan to a certain extent.
