Kalypso (software)

In Kalypso is an open source -Softwareprojekt which as a general model system mainly for numerical simulation is used in water management, such as for the preparation of flood protection concepts, flood hazard maps and flood risk maps. The application is published on SourceForge.net .

Kalypso was designed in collaboration between Björnsen Beratende Ingenieure GmbH and the Institute for Hydraulic Engineering at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg.

Project structure

Within the project, a distinction is made between Kalypso and the so-called Kalypso applications .

Calypso

Kalypso subsumes a number of standard water management modules:

Kalypso Hydrology: Precipitation runoff simulation
Kalypso WSPM: one-dimensional water level calculation
Kalypso 1D / 2D: unsteady coupled 1D / 2D flow calculation
Calypso Flood: Determination and representation of flood areas and flow depths based on digital terrain model data and simulated water level positions
Kalypso Risk: Identification of flood risks along bodies of water
Calypso evacuation: Support of the conception and validation of evacuation strategies

The standard modules are based on the KalypsoBASE framework and are also available in the source code as free software under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The numerical models are largely available as freeware .

Calypso applications

Kalypso applications are customer-specific applications that are also based on the KalypsoBASE framework. They represent so-called rich clients , which provide the user with the necessary range of functions for processing his specialist tasks. Typical applications include decision support systems (English "decision support system") and modeling systems for the water management , nature and landscape protection. For example, on the basis of KalypsoBASE, applications for flood forecasting , precipitation-runoff modeling, water level calculation and the assessment of water morphological water conditions including the determination of near-natural measures for flood reduction have been created.

KalypsoBASE thus represents a construction kit for the creation of applications with strongly spatial ( GIS analyzes) and possibly temporal (time series processing and analysis) aspects that are linked with the help of the Eclipse development environment .

The following is a list of projects that use KalypsoBASE as a basis:

nofdp IDSS

Logo of the nofdp IDSS

The nofdp IDSS (nature-oriented flood damage prevention information and decision support system) was developed as part of the nofdp project. The project is part of the EU- INTERREG- III-B program. The aim of the project was to develop a concept for ecologically oriented flood protection.

The nofdp IDSS provides tools for the preliminary planning phase and thus enables an integrative consideration of river catchment areas with a view to improving protection against flood damage, taking into account aspects of spatial planning, water management and ecology.
