Dam-break flow experimentsDam-break flow experiments

• Complex topographies– Dams built in mountainous areas

• steep, dry slopes• abrupt banks

– Arrival in large plains• great extent of small water depth

The bump test caseThe bump test case

• CADAM test case by ULB/LRH Châtelet, March 1998

• Additional laboratory measurements at UCL using digital imaging, March 2001

• More experiments for IMPACT ?

Dam-break flow experimentsDam-break flow experiments

• Urban areas– Kind of complex topography

• Streets, buildings, houses• Complex flow route

– Dam-break wave impact against buildings

– Important velocities• Worsened rescue conditions
