bore propagation due to sudden dam failure
Authors
abstract
the problem of creation and subsequent propagation of bore has been examined and studied by a number of investigators who they were interested in unsteady flow problems for which sudden changes in either flow or depth or both occur. in this paper, the shock conditions and the method of characteristics for predicting the downstream flooding produced by a dam failure. in the dam-break problem when there is some water initially below issued the dam, we determined the solution for bore propagation by assuming instant formation of the bore. the method used in this paper was based on a rectangular, horizontal channel for which the boundary resistance was assumed to be zero. the analytical solution of this problem is compared with the experimental data which are in good agrement. using only a hand-held calculator and the dimensionless graphs presented herein, the engineers may within minutes prodoce forecasts of the dam-break floodwave, shock speed, maximum height of the bore, discharges, and travel times.

Due to the immense damage caused by dam failure, especially dams constructed near large cities, it is necessary to consider the breaking phenomena as well as studying and designing different parts of the dam. For this purpose, the hydrograph of the outflow due to dam failure must be identified according to size of the fracture and then flood routing, and flood zone must be determined based on t...

The differential diagnosis of sudden hearing loss is very extensive. However, in most patients, no underlying pathology will be found and the patient is consequently diagnosed with idiopathic sudden hearing loss. Nevertheless, it is important that one stays alert in everyday routine practice to less common but potentially treatable pathology. We report a case of a 53-year old patient with sudde...
