SPH Modelling of the Kagerplassen Dyke Failure

A 3D SPH model is here applied in a preliminary numerical demonstration of the simulation of the field experiment of the collapse of the Kagerplassen embankment at 1:1 scale, with triggering and propagation of the slip surfaces within the embankment, and with subsequent landslides and flooding.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics is a grid-free numerical method of computational fluid dynamics suitable for various applications, such as flooding, rapid landslides and sediment removal from bodies of water. This method is applied here in a preliminary numerical demonstration of the simulation of the field experiment of the Kagerplassen embankment collapse at 1:1 scale. The geometries of the granular media and the reservoir are developed based on the available measurements through an analytical procedure. The results are provided in terms of: 3D fluid dynamic fields (vehicle interfaces and speed); hydrographs (time series) for the level of materials involved (maximum elevation), flow rate, cumulative volumes and velocity. The 3D SPH model simulates the initiation and propagation of slip surfaces within the embankment, and the subsequent propagation of both landslides and flooding.
