Laboratory experiments of dam-break flows are extensively used in investigations of
geophysical flows involving flood waves, to provide insight into relevant aspects of the …

Within the present work, the dam break flow over dry and wet beds are investigated
experimentally, aiming to provide up-to-date data set and deeper insight into the …

The paper presents a consistent micro-scale flood risk analysis procedure, relying on
detailed 2D inundation modelling as well as on high resolution topographic and land use …

In this paper, the results of a benchmark test launched within the framework of the NSF–
PIRE project “Modelling of Flood Hazards and Geomorphic Impacts of Levee Breach and …

The multiple flow paths existing in urban environments lead to complex flow fields during
urban flooding. Modelling these flow processes with three-dimensional numerical models …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

Due to increased flood discharges during the past years, overtopping of dikes and earthen
embankments has caused large damages to the surrounding infrastructure and the …

Since several decades, dam-break waves have been of main research interest.
Mathematical approaches have been developed by analytical, physical and numerical …

Accurate predictions of breach characteristics are necessary to reliably estimate the outflow
hydrograph and the resulting inundation close to fluvial dikes. Laboratory experiments on …

Farm dikes are of crucial importance for the flood defense system of a floodplain domain in
the Lower Yellow River, with devastating losses caused by failure of dikes in record …
