Explore the complexities of modelling extreme hydraulic events in this one-hour webinar on tsunami, dam failure, and non-Newtonian flow modelling. Delve into the hydraulic theory behind these high-shock situations, examining case studies such as the 1959 Malpasset dam failure in France, the 2011 Japan tsunami, and the 2019 Brumadinho tailings dam failure in Brazil. Learn about the numerical intricacies required for accurate 2D modelling of extreme inundation scenarios, and understand the importance of benchmarking against theoretical, flume, and real-world measurements. Gain confidence in producing reliable and meaningful results for these challenging hydraulic phenomena through an in-depth exploration of appropriate fluid flow equation solutions and their applications.
