ERODIBLE DAMBREAK
■ Dambreak problem is widely used as a benchmark in fluid flow problems.
■ Can be categorized in two types: dambreak in hard bed and sediment bed.
■ In sediment bed, the sediment can be moved by the interaction between the water
and sediment itself.

SHALLOW WATER EQUATION (SWE)

■ Hyperbolic equations for simulating fluid flows

■ The wave length greater than the water depth
Source: sciencedaily.com
■ Formed by two equations which are mass and
momentum conservation
■ Two or more layers model more dynamically

CONCLUSION
■ The numerical solutions of two-layer shallow water equation for ratio of density
greater than 0.1 are shown in a good agreement with the data experiment in
Louvain case.
■ The parallel performances using platform OpenMP are shown satisfying
measurement in speedup and efficiency, by using parallel computing with 4
processors is shown in a good percentage. The best measurement in speedup and
efficiency is observed for Computer III with processor AMD A6-5200 APU Quad-Core.
Using the maximum grid size Nx = 3200, the speedup is obtained 3.716 times and
the efficiency is calculated 92.9%.
■ In parallel performance during erodible dambreak simulation, Computer I with
processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU Quad-Core is shown the best computer in
order to accelerate the computational time.
