PREDICTIONS ON ARRIVAL TIMES OF WATER OF THE ST. FRANCIS DAM BREAK FLOOD USING ANUGA (2013)

ANUGA software is used to simulate the 1928 St. Francis dam break flood. ANUGA (see https://anuga.anu.edu.au/) is a free and open source software, which is designed to simulate shallow water flows. Our simulation assessment in this paper is based on the arrival times of water at several stations. We use the BreZo hydrodynamic algorithm results of Begnudelli and Sanders (“Simulation of the St. Francis Dam-Break Flood,” Journal of Engineering Mechanics, Vol. 133, pp. 1200–1212, 2007) to compare with, in addition to measured arrival times of the real event. Note that in simulations, arrival time can be measured with respect to either the water front or water discharge peak. Our simulations are of two types, catchment and detailed.
