  1. IMPACT Investigation of extreme flood Processes and uncertainty IMPACT - WP4Dam-break inducedfloodsand sediment movementProgress report Université catholique de Louvain Yves Zech, Benoit Spinewine and Nicolas le Grelle Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  2. Aims and objectives Improve the prediction of the motion of sediments in association with catastrophic floods Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  3. Issues of IMPACT WP4 research • Extreme flows  intense erosion and solid transport • Intense sediment transport  affects flood-wave prediction • Arrival time • Maximum water level • Morphological changes Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  4. Scope of the research • Near-field • Uniform debris flow • Severe transient debris flow • Far-field • Intense transport • Bank erosion and geomorphic changes Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  5. Near field : problems to be solved • Initiation of movement • Acting forces • Vertical effects • Inertial effects • Sediments bulking • Propagation • Intense scouring • Debris-flow front Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  6. Near-field : programme & schedule • Debris flow : acting forces (UDT) • Dam-break experiments (UCL) • Dam-break numerical modelling (UCL) • Validation of codes (UDT, UCL, Cem) Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  7. Near-field : programme & schedule • Debris flow : acting forces (UDT) • Uniform material • Months 1-18 • Graded material • Months 19-32 Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  8. Near-field : programme & schedule • Dam-break experiments (UCL) • Same bed levels • Months 1-9 • Initial step in bed level • Months 1-9 > 1-23 BM UCL 1 BM UCL 2 Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  11. Far field : problems to be solved • Transition from near-field to far-field • Geomorphic changes • Bank erosion and failure • Tractive forces applied • Failure mechanism • Channel widening • Deposition of material • De-bulking • Distribution of sediments • Secondary dams Dam-break floods and sediment movement

  12. Far field : programme & schedule • Laboratory experiments • Dam-break in an initially prismatic valley (UCL) • Large-scale model (Châtelet) • Field experiments : Norwegian dam (SG) • Numerical modelling (UCL) • Validation (UCL, UDT, Cemagref, IST) • Laboratory tests • Field cases Dam-break floods and sediment movement
