Experimental dataset on water levels, sediment depths and wave front celerity values in the study of multiphase shock wave for different initial up- and down-stream conditions

This data article presents a rich original experimental video sources and wide collections of laboratory on water levels, sediment depths wave front celerity values arose from different multiphase dam-break scenarios. The required shock waves in highly silted-up reservoirs with various initial up- down-stream hydraulic conditions is obtained directly high-quality videos. multi-layer were recorded by three professional cameras mounted along the channel. extracted images rigorously scrutinized, datasets through via image processing method. Different upstream reservoir dry- or wet-bed downstream considered as conditions, compromising total 32 A 198 videos are made available online public repository “Mendeley Data” 8 groups based [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. 20 locations flume 15 time snaps after dam breaks for collecting. Consequently, 18,000 level depth points collected to prepare four datasets, which uploaded Data”. 9600 could be accessed [9], [10], while 8400 [11], [12] utilized validation practical purposes other researchers. related another research entitled “Experimental study numerical verification dam-break” [13].
