Experimental videos in studying the influences of dry- and wet-bed downstream conditions on dam break multiphase flood waves in a reservoir with 7.5 cm sediment depth (25% silted-up)

Experimental videos:

Herein, 24 distinct video files have been presented which related to dam break multiphase flood shock wave experiments, performed in the Shiraz University, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department’s Hydraulic Lab (Shiraz, Iran). The initial upstream sediment depth was 7.5 cm which makes the upstream reservoir 25% silted-up with respect to the total 30 cm height of the reservoir. Different initial downstream conditions have also been considered including dry-bed downstream and wet-bed downstream with different levels of standing water; 2 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.
Considering three cameras which covered length of the flume, 4 different dam break scenarios and 2 repetitions conducted for each test, a total of 24 videos collected which presented in this document.
The additional explanations related to video files can be seen in “Explanation table of videos” file which attached to this document in Microsoft Word (DOCX/DOC) format.
