Abstract
Recently-developed Finite Element/Volume Methods for the cross-sectionally averaged 1-D shallow water equations in open channel networks are applied to idealized and real cases of dam break flash floods for their examination on robustness and versatility. The major differences among the schemes are the treatments of junctions and bends in the momentum equation as the internal boundary conditions. The computational results show robustness of the schemes. The results also show critical influences of the internal boundary conditions on the water surface profiles and flood arrival times, indicating that a necessary ingredient for their successful prediction is evaluation of the momentum flux with appropriately considering the channel configurations.
