SUMMARY The majority of dams constructed in the world are dams that can be catego...

Historically, the occurrence of dam-break cases has been proven to cause significant loss life and economical damage. Apart from catastrophic nature dam-breaks, absence a robust disaster prevention system exacerbates disasters that occur. This study proposes an Early Warning System (EWS) mitigate impact disasters. However, predicting such is challenging, specifically in areas like Indonesia, wh...

A quantitative comparison of the usual and recent numerical treatments which are applied to the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method are presented together with a new free-surface treatment. A series of numerical treatments are studied to refine the numerical procedures of the SPH method particularly for violent flows with a free surface. Two dimensional dam-break and sway-sloshing prob...

Green water events may present different features in the initial stage of interaction with deck a structure. It is therefore important to investigate evolution types green water, since not all interact at same time. In this paper, three (dam-break, plunging-dam-break, and hammer-fist) are studied. The surface elevations volumes over consecutive events, generated by incident [wave trains wave fl...

Dam-break flood waves represent a severe threat to people and properties located in downstream regions. Although dam failure has been among the main subjects investigated academia, little effort made toward investigating wave propagation under influence of tailwater depth. This work presents three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations laboratory experiments dam-breaks with performed at Laborat...

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 whe...
