Description
Summary:Dam failure can cause economic loss, besides this event can also endanger the lives of people living in the downstream area of the dam. Flood flow modeling due to dam failure is important in reducing the high risk of dam failure. Numerical modeling is an effective way to study the dam-break flow phenomenon. In this study, a numerical model based on the Taylor Galerkin finite element method was developed to simulate the phenomena of flooding, erosion and sediment transport due to dam failure. The finite element method has the advantage of flexibility for some complex geometries. In this numerical model, time discretization is solved by using the Taylor series approach and space discretization using the Galerkin method. The numerical model developed will be applied to several test cases of dam break flow, both in fixed and movable bed. To increase numerical stability, Hansen numerical filter is used. Taylor Galerkin's model provides a good agreement after being verified with the analytical, experimental, and numerical results from previous studies. The simulation results show that the Taylor Galerkin model is able to simulate the phenomena of flooding, erosion and sediment transport due to dambreak. Modeling like this is needed as a mitigation tool in reducing the impact caused by dam failure.
