Impact Force of a Geomorphic Dam-Break Wave against an Obstacle: Effects of Sediment Inertia

Impact Force of a Geomorphic Dam-Break Wave against an Obstacle: Effects of Sediment Inertia

The evaluation of the impact force on structures due to a flood wave is of utmost importance for estimating physical damage and designing adequate countermeasures. The present study investigates, using 2D shallow-water approximation, the morphodynamics and forces caused by a dam-break wave against a...
