Abstract: A smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method for turbulence is used to simulate dam-break flows. Several 2D and 3D dam-break flows are simulated. For turbulent effects, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation together with eddy viscosity assumption are used. SPH results are in good agreement with reported experimental results.

Key words: Dam-break flow, SPH method, turbulence, free surface flow
