- The first paper to demonstrate models incorporating sediment transport and large morphological change - including ‘avalanching’ applied to a dam breach. Previous models have been incapable of simulating collapse and subsequent outflow in the same framework as the river. This is significant for all river modellers interested in high levels and overtopping flows; phenomena expected to become more common due to global weather changes. The model is validated through comparison with experimental data from breaches and downstream outflow hydrographs. The approach has been adopted by research groups in Italy and China [DOIs: 10.1029/2018WR023826, 10.1016/j.ijsrc.2020.02.005] particularly with regard to GPU optimisation.
