The water waves resulting from the collapse of a dam are important unsteady free surface
flows in civil and environmental engineering. Considering the basic case of ideal dam break …

In this work, we simulate the 2011 M9 Tohoku-Oki tsunami using new coseismic tsunami
sources based on inverting onshore and offshore geodetic data, using 3D Finite Element …

Hunter Rouse was the father of the Fluid Mechanics of Open Channel Flow. In this review
article the fundamental advances on the non-hydrostatic modeling of shallow open channel …

We investigate the temporal photonic analogue of the dam-break phenomenon for shallow
water by exploiting a fiber optics setup. We clearly observe the decay of the steplike input …

A three-dimensional (3D) non-hydrostatic model is presented for the simulation of dam-
break flows. The model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations using the …

Understanding granular mass flow is a basic step in the prediction and control of natural or
man‐made disasters related to avalanches on the Earth. Savage and Hutter (1989) …

This paper presents numerical simulations of the propagation, shoaling and run-up of full-
scale tsunami waves. The simulations are performed with a model solving Reynolds …

Dam-break flood waves are associated with major environmental disasters provoked by the
sudden release of water stored in reservoirs. Ritter found in 1892 an analytical solution to …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged shallow water equations (SWE) are widely
used to model unsteady free surface flows, such as flooding processes, including those due …

Modeling of dam break flows is frequently required in civil and environmental engineering
because of the risk associated with this catastrophic flow. Typically, model predictions are …
