Analyses, Simulations, and Physical Modeling Validation of Levee and Embankment Erosion
We present a computer simulation of hydraulic erosion on levees, dams, and earth embankments, with emphasis on rill and gully initiation and propagation. We focus on erosion features that occur after an earthen structure is overtopped. We have developed a 3D fluid and hydraulic erosion simulation engine using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). We present the results of digital simulations for different soil types. Furthermore, small-scale physical models of levees composed of different soils were constructed and tested experimentally. The digital simulations are compared to physical experimental results to validate the computer models.
