Numerical Modeling to Predict Canal Breach Outflow Hydrographs
Numerical unsteady-flow simulations were used to investigate the breach outflow hydrographs produced by hypothetical canal embankment failures, considering the interaction of canal hydrodynamic effects and the rate of breach development. The studies led to the development of appraisal-level procedures for estimating the peak outflow rate and other breach outflow hydrograph characteristics as a function of canal hydraulic properties, breach development rate, the length of the affected canal reach, and the location of the breach relative to upstream and downstream check structures. These procedures will help water managers identify canal reaches and specific breach locations that have potential to produce large peak outflow rates.
