Validation of Dam-Break Problem over Dry Bed using SPH

Abstract

— In this study, a comparison was made between experimental and numerical analysis results using the classical dam-break test case over dry bed. DualSPHysics software based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to make the numerical analysis. Experimental data were obtained from Kocaman [1] ’s laboratory setup through image processing technique. It was observed that the numerical and experimental results are in good agreement.
