Analysis of dam break waves; Analyse av dambruddsboelger

Abstract

The project objective was to improve knowledge and methodology for dam break wave calculations in relation to current practice and NVE's current requirements. The reason was the experience of flood in Troendelag in 2006, which indicated that NVE's policies was not good enough for small and / or erosion prone rivers. The project has shown that erosion processes can be at least as large consequences as the dam break flood, and that degree of detail with respect to terrain data and the choice of roughness is important for the results in a watercourse as Lauvsnes waterway. It is also shown that the results from the use of 2D model may differ significantly from results from the 1D model. The report is making recommendations for updating guidelines for dam break wave calculations. (AG)
