dam breaching; dam breach modelling; sensitivity analysis
Abstract :
[en] Accurately predicting the flow induced by the collapse of embankment dams remains
challenging, as a consequence of the level of uncertainty affecting the prediction of breach
width and formation time. Moreover, very few systematic analyses are available today
concerning the sensitivity of the flow with respect to those uncertainties. The present
theoretical analysis quantifies the influence of variations in the breach parameters on the
peak outflow.
