In this paper, Gabutti and Beam and Warming (BW) finite difference schemes are used for the analysis of free-surface flows resulting from the breaking of a dam.
Abstract
Two new finite-difference schemes - Gabutti, and Beam and Warming - are introduced and compared for the analysis of unsteady free-surface flows resulting from the breaking of a dam. These schemes split the fluxvector into positive and negative parts, each of which corresponds to the direction of a characteristic, thereby allowing use of proper finite differences for the space derivatives. Central finite differences are used for subcritical flow and upwind differences are used for supercritical flow. The details of these schemes are presented and the computed results are compared with the analytical solution to demonstrate their validity. Because of their simplicity, these schemes are attractive for solving the dam-break problem, especially when supercritical flow is present.

Riemann wave description of erosional dam-break flows

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the sudden erosional flow initiated by the release of a dam-break wave over a loose sediment bed and formulated extended shallow-water equations to describe the development of the surge.

Explicit Methods for 2‐D Transient Free Surface Flows

TL;DR: MacCormack and Gabutti as mentioned in this paper introduced explicit finite-difference schemes to integrate the equations describing two-dimensional, unsteady gradually varied flows, which allow sharp discontinuous initial conditions, and do not require isolation of the bores.

Approximate Riemann solutions of the shallow water equations

TL;DR: In this article, a finite difference scheme based on flux difference splitting is presented for the solution of the onedimensional shallow water equations of ideal fluid flow, analogous to a linearised problem.

A Godunov method for the computation of erosional shallow water transients

TL;DR: In this article, a finite volume numerical solver is constructed, then extended to second-order accuracy using Strang splitting and MUSCL extrapolation, and lateralisation of the momentum flux is adopted to handle the non-conservative product associated with bottom slope.

Numerical and experimental water transients in sewer pipes

TL;DR: In this paper, the Pavia Flux Predictor scheme (P.F.P) was used to describe hydraulic jumps and bores over a few grid points, and experiments were carried out for a steep slope circular pipe.
