This benchmark performs UK EA benchmark Test 6 – Dambreak using the Water Module of the Tygron Platform.

This dambreak test case (see Appendix A.6 for details) is the original benchmark test case available from the IMPACT project (Soares-Frazão and Zech 2002), for which measurements from a physical model at the Civil Engineering Laboratory of the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) are available.

Characteristics:

  • Dimensions: 20X the values below
  • Roughness: uniform manning = 0,05 m/s1/3
  • Initiële conditions: 8m in reservoir, 0,4m in floodplain
  • Modelgrid resolution: 2m

Results

Measured water levels and velocities were provided by UCL for six points (G1 to G6, except for velocities at G6). Below the result for each point.
