Gate-Opening Criterion for Generating Dam-Break Flow in Non-Rectangular Wet Bed Channels

A sudden dam failure is usually simulated by the rapid removal of a gate in laboratory tests and numerical simulations. The gate-opening time is often determined according to the Lauber and Hager instantaneous collapse criterion (referred to as the Lauber–Hager criterion), which is established for a...
