The economic and environmental benefits of dam flow need to be calculated theoretically using open-source field operation and manipulation (OpenFOAM). The potential consequences of a hypothetical dam failure depend mainly on the kind of collapse and the reservoir’s capacity. Riverbed singularities d...
