<strong>Comparison</strong> <strong>between</strong> <strong>1D</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>2D</strong> <strong>models</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>analyze</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>dam</strong> <strong>break</strong> waveFigure 52. Vec<strong>to</strong>rs of Velocity plot (t = 6 s) obtained withComsol.Figure 49. Isovalue z = 9.0909 m (Comsol result).Figure 53. Flow plot (t = 6 s) solved with Comsol.Figure 50. Flow plot (t = 6 s) given by Valiani et al.Figure 54. Streamline plot solved with CM at t = 6 s.Figure 51. Vec<strong>to</strong>rs of Velocity plot (t = 6 s) given byValiani et al.Therefore, <strong>the</strong> <strong>models</strong> (<strong>1D</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>2D</strong>) have beenvalidated by comparison with <strong>the</strong> results given byRahman & Chaudhry <strong>and</strong> Valiani et al respectively intwo test cases involving <strong>dam</strong> <strong>break</strong> flow. Software isgenerally validated against analytical solutions of <strong>the</strong>SWE or with labora<strong>to</strong>ry experimental measurements.Both methods are very useful but are not fullysatisfac<strong>to</strong>ry. In <strong>the</strong> first case (our case) <strong>the</strong> validity of<strong>the</strong> equations is not questioned <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> latter <strong>the</strong>turbulence is overlooked, not <strong>to</strong> mention sedimenttransport effects.21
