Two-dimensional mobile-bed dam-break model

Sudden and catastrophic dam-breaks typically induce high bed shear stresses downstream as the flood-wave propagates over the alluvial channel and flood plain. In fact, the non-dimensionalized shear stresses are often high enough that they are comparable to those typically seen in the transport of sa...
