Regarding the hydrodynamics, within the past two decades it has become popular in numerical modeling of free-surface flow to adopt a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach, where the volume of fluid (VOF) method is utilized to track the evolution of free-surface. However, this robust numerical model has not been widely applied to the study of sediment transport processes. In this study, we shall extend the numerical model to simulate suspended sediment transport and study the erosion pattern during the initial stage of the dam break flow. We also conducted a series of experiments in a horizontal channel of rectangular section and recorded the snap shots of surface profiles of a dam- break wave during the initial stage of dam-break. Measured data is utilized here to study the hydrodynamics and to validate the numerical model.

Dam-break flows are simulated numerically by a two-dimensional shallow-water-equation model that combines a hydrodynamic module and a sediment transport module. The model is verified by available analytical solutions and experimental data. It is demonstrated that the model is a reliable tool for the simulation of various transient shallow water flows and the associated sediment transport and bed morphology on complex topography. The validated model is then applied to investigate the potential dam-break flows from Tangjiashan Quake Lake resulting from Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. The dam-break flow evolution is simulated by using the model in order to provide the flooding patterns (e.g., arrival time and flood height) downstream. Furthermore, the sediment transport and bed morphology simulation is performed locally to study the bed variation under the high-speed dam-break flow.

This study models a dam-break flow over a bed by using a depth-averaged numerical model based on finite-volume method and computes the dam-break flow and bed morphology characteristics. The generalized shallow water equations considering the sediment transport and bed change on dam-break flow are adopted in the numerical model, and the vegetation effects on the flow and morphological changes are considered. The model is verified against three cases from the laboratory and field data documented in the literature. The numerical results are consistent with the measured results, which show that the model could accurately simulate the evolution of the dam-break flows and the morphology evolution of bed within a computational domain with complex plant distribution. The results show that the riparian vegetation in the waterway narrows the channel and reduces the conveyance capacity of river. The flood flow is diverted away from the vegetation community toward two sides and forms a weak flow region behind the vegetation domain. The resistance of plants markedly reduces the flow velocity, which directly alters the fluvial processes and influences the waterway morphology.

A high-resolution numerical model for dam-break flow in an L-shaped channel was presented based on using the two-step finite-volume component-wise TVD (total variation diminishing) scheme, by which second-order accuracy in both time and space is achieved. Numerical simulation for open L-shaped channel flow was implemented, and velocity and water surface were obtained.

The last two decades have seen great progress in mathematical modeling of fluvial processes and flooding in terms of either approximation of the physical processes or dealing with the numerical difficulties. Yet attention to simultaneously taking advancements of both aspects is rarely paid. Here a well-balanced and fully coupled noncapacity model is presented of dam-break flooding over erodible beds. The governing equations are based on the complete mass and momentum conservation laws, implying fully coupled interactions between the dam-break flow and sediment transport. A well-balanced Godunov-type finite volume method is used to solve the governing equations, facilitating satisfactory representation of the complex flow phenomena. The well-balanced property is attained by using the divergence form of matrix related to the static force for the bottom slope source term. Existing classical tests, including idealized dam-break flooding over irregular topography and experimental dam-break flooding with/without sediment transport, are numerically simulated, showing a satisfactory quantitative performance of this model.
