    Central scheme for two-dimensional dam-break flow simulation

    A new second-order central scheme (KT), proposed by Kurganov and Tadmor, have been used for the solution of the two-dimensional dam-break problem. After having assumed as basis of the dam-break phenomenon the set of 2D nonhomogeneous Saint-Venant equations, the KT scheme in its semi-discrete second-order form has been extended for taking into account the presence of a source term. Time integration has been performed by using a third-order TVD Runge-Kutta scheme. To demonstrate the accuracy of this explicit method, the solution obtained by this model for a dam-break problem of one-dimensional flow has been compared with the corresponding analytical solution, moreover, the solutions obtained for two test cases of two-dimensional flow have been compared with the experimental results

    Se reconstruyen algunas experiencias clásicas de escorrentía sobre superficies impermeables bajo condiciones de lluvia simulada, mediante el empleo de un programa de cálculo que implenta las ecuaciones completas de Saint-Venant en forma unidimensional, efectuadas en algunos laboratorios y trasladadas a la literatura científica. El algoritmo empleado resuelve numéricamente las ecuaciones completas de Saint-Venant mediante un esqema de tipo Taylor-Galerkin del segundo orden en dos pasos
