Numerical Simulation Of The Kirazlikopru Dam Failure On The Gokirmak River

Description

Numerical dam break analyses of Kirazlik&ouml / pr&uuml / Dam are performed under
various hydraulic scenarios. Kirazlik&ouml / pr&uuml / Dam is located on the G&ouml / kirmak
River near the city of Bartin. The objective of these analyses is to investigate
adverse effects of such dam break failure on the regions downstream of the
dam. The numerical model used in the simulations is FLDWAV, which is
developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) in the United States. It
appears that most adversely effected regions are those that are closest to the
dam location. The results of these simulations can be used sufficiently to
prepare emergency action plans in case of possible failures.
