Two Phase Flow Tailings Dam Failure
This 2-phase modeling approach will represent a new level of predictive analysis for tailings dam breach and mudflows.
Two Phase Flow Tailings Dam Breach
This 2-phase flow modeling approach will simulate tailings dam breach and resulting downstream mudflows.
- Simulate tailings dam breach with reservoir water storage
- Predict downstream fluid and mudflow inundation
- Compute mudflow – fluid exchange with scour and deposition
- Simulate downstream tributary inflow and mudflow into lakes and reservoirs
- Predict sediment routing by size fraction
- Assess mudflow cessation
- Combine with the FLO-2D Tailings Dam Tool to estimate verify volume releases
This new hyperconcentrated sediment flow component will initially be distributed as a separate model for tailings dam failures and will be absolutely FREE to current Pro users.
Tailings Dam Tool
Tailings dam modeling requirements are evolving with new Global Standards. This training package will show the user how to set up and use the Tailings Dam tool.
- Predicts tailings dam failure occurrence
- Predicts release tailings volume (INFLOW.DAT file)
- Compare volume with flood routing simulation in SUMMARY.OUT
- Based on historical tailings dam breach data
