Abstract: Dam break and flash floods cause severe damage to people and infrastructure each year. Due to the rapid increase in discharge, bores and shock waves can form. The dynamic forces from the impact and the accelerating flow have to be known to assess the damage from such floods. This study describes a physical model study and a numerical model that have been used to examine the dynamic forces from a flood wave with steep front.
