UK Benchmark 6 (Water Module)
This benchmark performs UK EA benchmark Test 6 – Dambreak using the Water Module of the Tygron Platform.
his dambreak test case (see Appendix A.6) originates from the IMPACT project (Soares-Frazão and Zech 2002). Physical measurements were provided by the Civil Engineering Laboratory of the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL).
Characteristics:
- Dimensions: 20X the values below
- Roughness: uniform manning = 0,05 m/s1/3
- Initial conditions: 8m in reservoir, 0.4m in floodplain
- Modelgrid resolution: 2m
Results
Measured water levels and velocities were provided by UCL for six points (G1 to G6, except for velocities at G6). The results for each point are shown below.
