  abstract =   "In the course of this thesis, a software solution that can
               be used to handle the simulation and visualization of
               multiple flooding scenarios was developed. Multiple
               alternatives can be simulated at once, and the user can jump
               between various simulation states and explore them at will.
               New alternatives can be explored by changing parameters or
               introducing events into the simulation. The thesis is
               centered around the study of breach-closure procedures used
               to repair the damage done to the levees of New Orleans after
               hurricane Katrina. A simulation scenario resembling the
               original study was made and used to explore alternative ways
               of closing the breach.  The results of the simulation are
               rendered to the user using the screen-space fluid with
               curvature-flow rendering-method. To allow ease of
               exploration, additional views that allow the user to compare
               simulation states were developed. These views show which
               buildings are threatened in various states, and the
               properties of the simulated fluid across multiple states. It
               is shown that these views follow a common approach that can
               be used to create new comparative renderings.",
