The port side of the ship was computed with a moving ship in static water and the starboard side with a static ship in moving water. Shock interaction with a bubble in a hetrogeneous mixture, simulated using a Cartesian cut cell representation of the interface. The animations in this gallery were generated using an SGI O2 workstation and are in the QuickTime format. The tank is 1m square, the column of water is 1m tall and the undisturbed water depth is 0.5m. Classical Dam break Quicktime animation, 633Kb Computer generated visualisation of the water surface showing the classical dam break problem.
Water flows through an instantaneously formed breach in a dam.
This is the final animation by Jonathon Shiach. It shows the computed water surface resulting from the failure of a dam into a sluice containing a 90 degree bend.
