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.
