[en] The present paper first describes briefly the hydrodynamic
model WOLF 2D. Secondly, the simulation of the Malpasset dam break enables
to highlight the effectiveness of WOLF 2D. Lastly, the model is applied
to simulate the flood generated by the hypothetic collapse of a large
concrete dam, which would induce three dam breaks in cascade.
