Abstract: The dam break problem is studied in a channel characterised by a power-law cross-section, with different widths upstream and downstream of the dam. This research is the extension of a previous study by Valiani and Caleffi (2019), designed for rectangular cross-sections, to different and more complex geometries. A 1D a-SWE (one dimensional augmented Shallow Water Equation) system is developed, which has been shown to capture the full range of possible solutions.
