Flood hazard mapping (FHM) has undergone significant development in terms of approach
and capacity of the result to meet the target of policymakers for accurate prediction and …

This paper documents a series of small-scale laboratory experiments of dam-break waves
propagating over loose granular beds, realised in a dedicated flume equipped with a fast …

The similarity brings great convenience to the description of the dam-break flows. The
previous works mainly focus on the similarity of dam-break flows under the condition of dry …

SERR-1D is a 4th-order finite volume 1D Boussinesq model including wave breaking
energy dissipation through extra diffusive-like terms. This model has been primarily …

A distorted physical model, based on Ürkmez Dam in Izmir, Turkey, was built to study
sudden partial dam break flows. The distorted model had a horizontal scale of 1/150 and a …

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 …

This study simulates two dimensional sediment transport, as a result of overtopping earthfill
dam break, in urban areas. The model can consider breaching, removal of sediment from …

This work is concerned with the role that friction and inertia effects can play on the
magnitude of dam-break wave-front celerity. Classic analytical solutions are presented. A …

A new method is proposed to solve the two-dimensional shallow-water equations and derive
the hydraulic properties in the wave tip region of the dam-break flow on a dry frictional …

Mathematical modelling of river processes is, nowadays, a key element in river engineering
and planning. River modelling tools should rest on conceptual models drawn from …
