Numerical modelling of solid transport caused by an extreme flood: Case of the Hamiz dam failure (Algeria)

Study of solid transport caused by the flow of an extreme flood such as the propagation of dam failure wave aims to simulate the hydrodynamics behaviour of the solid particles contained in the valley during the flood passage. With this intention, we have developed a numerical model which is based on...
