Experimental study on scour and erosion of blocked dam

This paper presents new experimental data of the erosion rate and sediment transport rate during the processes of dam break caused by overtopping. In order to study the headcut migration, the erosion coefficient was calculated and its peak value was determined near the downstream edge of the dam cre...
