Dam wall break simulation by means of a high resolution algorithm applied to the La Parota dam, Guerrero, Mexico

Abstract

This document presents a dam wall break simulation of the La Parota hydropower project in Guerrero, Mexico, by means of the CARPA system, which is based in a 2D WAF-TVD (Weight Averaged Flux-Total Variation Diminishing) high resolution finite volume numerical scheme. With the results, it is possible to produce maps containing water depth, flow velocity, and affected zones, which are useful in the civil protection field.
