ABSTRACT
Dam  break  flow  has  been  the  subject  of intensive research for a long time. Dam break flow
includes several features of existing problems in the area  of  fluid  mechanics,  environment  protection,
marine  hydrodynamics,  and  coastal  engineering. Dam  break  flow  is  widely  used  as  a  classical  test
case  for  numerical  simulation  of  free  surface  and moving boundary. Solutions are accomplished with
Smoothed
Particle Hydrodynamics
SPH technique  using  a  pc  cluster.  For  dam  break  flow
impact against the obstacle, the flow impacts on the vertical  wall  at  t  =  0.8  sec,  at  time  t  =  1.2  sec  an
upward  water  jet  is  suddenly  formed  and  over- turning  wave  with  an  adverse  momentum  is
observed  at  t  =  1.3  sec.  Impact  pressure  flow  on  a wall of the obstacle is 2.39 Nm2 and velocity in y
direction  is  4.32  msec.  Regarding  dam  break  flow impact  against  obstacle-clearance,  high  velocity
and  shallow  water  depth  flow  are  happened  in  x- direction  at    t  =  0.35  sec.  The  two  flow  face  each
other  and  this  two  flow  impact  the  vertical  flow then simulate a splash. This happened at t = 1.1 sec.
The established SPH model is able to capture over- turning wave phenomena and splash phenomena.
