Implicit Bidiagonal Numerical Scheme for Simulation of 2D Flood Waves

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with a mathematical model for numerical simulation of 2D flood waves due to partial dam-break. The governing water equations are solved by an implicit bidiagonal numerical scheme, based on the MacCormack’s predictor-corrector technique. The mathematical model is used to compute 2D flood waves due to partial instantaneous symmetrical dam-break in a rectangular open channel with a rectangular cylinder barrier downstream. Results, in terms of water velocity vectors and contours of water depth, water surface, following dam-break phenomena, are investigated in the two-dimensional problems.
