Abstract
  • The issue of dam failure has been a key contributor to massive catastrophes, as well as economic and physical destruction. Nevertheless, the effectiveness and accuracy of the simulation of a dam break model are still under debate. In this study, a simulation of a 2D model of the dam breaking half-filled water tank was carried out using Ansys software to evaluate the deformation and water pressure of dam break flow. Four sensors were installed to examine the changes in pressure of the water deformation. Deformation of water at a certain time of the dam break simulation and the pressure of water inside were analyzed and compared with the experimental result, which has been reported by Lobovský. Validation and verification of hydrostatic tests have been found to be in agreement with the current model simulation. An extensive set of data for the simulation is given access as supplementary materials for the direct result of the recent initiative. The results show that by excluding minor differences in wave shape and duration of water movement, the deformation of water exemplifies the same behavior as the experimental results. For experimental data, the non-dimensional time of the dam break event is ranged within 0 to 7.14828 ms while the pressure of water flow is within 0 to 3.0441 Pa. As for simulation results, the non-dimensional time of the dam break event is ranged within 0 to 202 ms whereas the pressure of water flow is within 0 to 0.54124 Pa. Thus, to strengthen the quality numerical model, future work should emphasize the initiative to incorporate the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method with the goal of improving computational validity and efficiency.
