Abstract: Dam-break wave propagation may have high consequences on the downstream valley topography. In particular, strong damages to buildings can occur. Or the topographical characteristics of the valley, and especially the buildings, directly influence the wave dynamic. In this paper, a 2D numerical flow solver available for dam-break flow computation on real topography is used to perform numerical modeling considering the structural impacts of the wave propagation on buildings.
