We report the developments of hydrodynamic instabilities in several well-balanced finite volume schemes that are observed during the computation of the temporal evolution of an out-balance flow which is essentially a kinematic wave. The numerical simulatio ...
This is a numerical investigation of a yield-stress fluid flowing down an inclined plane. A three-dimensional, free-surface, two-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is extended to handle generalized Newtonian fluids. Special attention is spent on the ...
Dam-break floods on steep slopes occur in diverse settings. They may result from failure of either natural or man-made dams, and they have been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives [Costa, 1988]. Recent disasters resulting from dam-break floods o ...
In this paper, the flow dynamics of gravity currents on a horizontal plane is investigated from a theoretical point of view by seeking similarity solutions. The current is generated by unleashing a varying volume of heavy fluid within an ambient fluid of m ...
In this paper, we seek similarity solutions to the shallow water (Saint-Venant) equations for describing the motion of a non-Boussinesq, gravity-driven current in an inertial regime. The current is supplied in fluid by a source placed at the inlet of a hor ...
