1-D finite volume model for dam-break induced mud-flow

Abstract: A numerical model suitable for the simulation of dam break flow, for Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids, has been developed. The main features of the model are concerned with the propagation of wet-dry fronts, the treatment of irregular and variable cross sections shape, and the applicability to highly sloping channels. Governing equations are numerically solved using a simple first-order finite volume scheme. Different test cases have been selected in order to check all the fundamental features necessary for d… Show more

“…These features have previously been tested applying the model to different test cases that have been properly chosen [1]. The classic frictionless dam-break test has been used to verify the correctness of waves speed propagation and the capability of treating wet-dry fronts.…”
