Direct estimate of the breach hydrograph of an overtopped earth dam

The quantification of the breach hydrograph of an overtopped earth dam remains a challenge, even in controlled laboratory conditions. In this work, the breach hydrograph is calculated as the product of the velocity normal to a breach cross section and the estimated area of that cross section. Althou...
