Experiments to dambreak wave: Horizontal channel
(1998)Journal of Hydraulic ResearchDambreak waves in a smooth rectangular and horizontal channel are described. Based on a literature review, the conditions required for Froude similarity are first derived. Then, the positive and negative wave fronts are analytically determined, based on the characteristic equations. Further, the effect of the relative reservoir length on the wave maximum is specified and a novel dimensionless coordinate X is introduced, that accounts for ...Journal Article
