Abstract: To obtain the relationship between the hydraulic characteristics and the breach shape, a new method is developed for calculation of the hydraulic characteristics of dam‐break waves in an arbitrary channel, whose perimeter ...

Abstract: The problem of gravity-driven free-surface flows is difficult to solve due to the nonlinear character of the boundary condition. Using methods based on complex analysis, only flows past simple geometrical boundaries have ...

Abstract: The concept of “feedback” is introduced into potential free surface flow to derive a new and simple iterative method termed the residual pressure feedback method that is used for computing free surface profile. The residual ...
