Based on well-balanced Roe’s approximate Riemann solver, a numerical model is developed for the unsteady, two-dimensional, shallow water flow with variable topographies. In this model, an efficient methods are applied to treat the source terms and to satisfy the compatibility condition on unstructured grids. In the method, different components of the bed slope source term are considered separately and the compatible discretization of the components is presented. The newly developed model is verified against analytical solutions and measured date, with good agreement.

AbstractA finite-volume numerical method for studying shallow water flows over an arbitrary bed profile in the presence of external force has been proposed in [33]. This method uses the quasi-two-layer model of hydrodynamic flows over a stepwise boundary with advanced consideration of the flow features near the step. A distinctive feature of the suggested model is a separation of the studied flow into two layers in calculating the flow quantities near each step, and improving by this means the approximation of depth-averaged solutions of the initial three-dimensional Euler equations. We are solving the shallow-water equations for one layer, introducing the fictitious lower layer only as an auxiliary structure in setting up the appropriate Riemann problems for the upper layer. Besides, the quasi-two-layer approach leads to the appearance of additional terms in the one-layer finite-difference representation of balance equations. Numerical simulations are performed based on the proposed in [33] algorithm of various physical phenomena, such as breakdown of the rectangular fluid column over an inclined plane, large-scale motion of fluid in the gravity field in the presence of Coriolis force over amounted obstacle on the underlying surface. Computations are made for the two-dimensional dam-break problem on a slope precisely conform to laboratory experiments. The interaction of the Tsunami wave with the shore line including an obstacle has been simulated to demonstrate the efficiency of the developed algorithm in domains, including partly flooded and dry regions.
