This paper is concerned with a mathematical model for numerical simulation of 2D flood waves due to partial dam-break. The governing water equations are solved by an implicit bidiagonal numerical scheme, based on the MacCormack’s predictor-corrector technique. The mathematical model is used to compute 2D flood waves due to partial instantaneous symmetrical dam-break in a rectangular open channel with a rectangular cylinder barrier downstream. Results, in terms of water velocity vectors and contours of water depth, water surface, following dam-break phenomena, are investigated in the two-dimensional problems.

Abstract Turbulence diffusion in open-channel flow was investigated experimentally by photographing the spread of globules formed by the injection of an immiscible fluid into water. The mean-square transverse deviations of the globules at various distances downstream from the source were computed and analyzed in an effort to determine the shape of the velocity-correlation curve. Comparison was made between two types of curve which fitted the deviation data, one corresponding to a power-correlation law and the other to an exponential-correlation law.
