Dam break inundation mapping is essential for risk management and mitigation, emergency action planning, potential consequences assessment. To quantify flood hazard associated with dam failures, flooding variables must be predicted by efficient robust numerical models capable to effectively cope the computational difficulties posed complex flows on real topographies. Validation against real-fie...

Dam overtopping failure and the resulting floods are hazardous events that highly impact inundated areas less predictable. The simulation of dam breach flood wave propagation is necessary for assessing hazards to provide precautions. In present study, a two-dimensional HEC-RAS model was used simulate from hypothetical Al-Udhaim on River, Iraq, dam-break along 100 km downstream site scenario. ma...

Simulation of free surface flow and sudden wave profile are recognized as the most challenging problem in computational hydraulics. Several Eulerian/Lagrangian approaches and models can be implemented for simulating such phenomena in which the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) is categorized as a proper candidate. The incompressible SPH (ISPH) method hires a precise incompressible hy...

Laboratory experiments of dam-break flows are extensively used in investigations geophysical involving flood waves, to provide insight into relevant aspects the physics process and collect experimental data for validating numerical models. A flow is a typical example highly unsteady free surface with high reproducibility. Indeed, can be repeated several times under same test conditions obtainin...
