4.2. Case Description

In this validation case, part of a container is filled with water. After some time, the gate is removed, allowing the water to flow through the container. The water hits a square column placed in the middle of the container and the resultant force on it is compared to experimental data available in [6].

The dam break validation case is illustrated in Figure 4.1: Dam break validation case. and the geometries dimensions are shown in Figure 4.2: Geometries dimensions..
