The prediction of large-scale hydrodynamic events such as tsunami spread and run-up, dam break, flood, or landslide run-out is a challenging and important problem of applied mathematics and scientific computing. The paper presents a computational approach based on free surface flow models for fluids of complex rheology to simulate such events and phenomena with detail and prediction confidence ...

This paper firstly described the dam break in the aspects of theories and models. Break parameters prediction, the understanding of dam break mechanics, peak outflow prediction were shown as the essential for the dam break analysis, and eventually determined the loss of the damages. Secondly, as an application example, Foster Joseph Sayers Dam break was further modeled and analyzed using USACE ...

The overall objective of the study is to generate information for an enhanced land use planning with respect to flood hazards. The study assesses the potential impact of climate change by simulating a dam break scenario in a high intensity rainfall event and evaluates the vulnerability risk in the downstream region by integrating ArcGIS and Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (...

Correct prediction of flood extents in urban catchments has become a challenging issue. The traditional urban drainage models that consider only the sewerage-network are able to simulate the drainage system correctly until there is no overflow from the network inlet or manhole. When such overflows exist due to insufficient drainage capacity of downstream pipes or channels, it becomes difficult ...

Inundation models based on the Shallow Water Equations (SWE) have been shown to perform well for a 3 wide variety of situations even at the limit of their theoretical applicability and, arguably, somewhat beyond. One of 4 these situations is the catastrophic event of floods induced by dyke breach and consequent dyke erosion. The dyke 5 collapse is often not sudden as assumed by many flood simul...
