A Finite Volume Method for a 2D Dam-Break Simulation on a Wet Bed Using a Modified HLLC Scheme

This study proposes a numerical model for depth-averaged Reynolds equations (shallow-water equations) to investigate a dam-break problem, based upon a two-dimensional (2D) second-order upwind cell-centre finite volume method. The transportation terms were modelled using a modified approximate HLLC R...

description This study proposes a numerical model for depth-averaged Reynolds equations (shallow-water equations) to investigate a dam-break problem, based upon a two-dimensional (2D) second-order upwind cell-centre finite volume method. The transportation terms were modelled using a modified approximate HLLC Riemann solver with the first-order accuracy. The proposed 2D model was assessed and validated through experimental data and analytical solutions for several dam-break cases on a wet and dry bed. The results showed that the error values of the model are lower than those of existing numerical methods at different points. Our findings also revealed that the dimensionless error parameters decrease as the wave propagates downstream. In general, the new model can model the dam-break problem and captures the shock wave superbly.
