Breaches can grow when water flows from the virtual external water source into the hydrological model[1].
First, the difference in height of the water on either side of the breach is calculated.
- H = abs( max(0, EL - BH) - max(0, WL - BH) )
Using the height difference, the breach width increase is calculated.
- ΔB = 1.3 * ((G^0.5 * H^1.5) / Uc) * log10 (1 + (0.04 * G / Uc) * Δt / 3600)
The current breach width is then equal to the last calculated breach width, plus the calculated additional breach width.
- Bnew = Bold + ΔB
Where:
- B = The total calculated breach width, initially equal to BW.
- Δt = Computational timestep.
- ΔB = The calculated width increase of the breach.
- H = The difference between the height of the water columns on either side of the breach.
- MF = Material factor, set to 1.3 (average for sand and clay levees)
- G = Acceleration factor of gravity
- BH = The BREACH_HEIGHT attribute of the breach.
- BW = The BREACH_WIDTH attribute of the breach.
- BS = The BREACH_SPEED attribute of the breach.
- EL = Current external water level.
