Multiple Dam Breach Locations Under Wind and Wave Actions - Wind Speed 50 Kilometers per Hour

This is a numerical simulation of multiple breaches for a hypothetical long dam with uneven crest under wind and wave actions. The wind speed is 50 km per hour, and the angle Alpha is 60 degree. This research was performed at Utah Water Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. This research was published by Advances in Water Resources in three articles "Three-dimensional Non-cohesive Earthen Dam Breach Model. Part 1, Theory and Methodology", "Three-dimensional Non-cohesive Earthen Dam Breach Model. Part 2, Validation and Applications", and "Dam Breach Simulations with Multiple Breach Locations under Wind and Wave Actions" in 2006. The result was presented through poster paper "Overtopping Breaches for A Long Dam Estimated by A Three-dimensional Model", Proceedings of 26th Annual United States Society on Dams Conference in 2006.
