2D modelling: Rubar20 and Rubar20TS

Software Rubar 20 solves 2-D de Saint Venant equations using explicit finite volumes method. It integrates supercritical flow and breaching of embankment.

Coupling a advection diffusion equation permits to simulate solute, sediment or hydrocarbon transport and eventually to modify topography (Rubar 20 TS software).

Rubar 20 as well as Rubar20TS can be coupled with respectively Rubar 3 or RubarBE in order to perform a coupled 1D /2D calculation.

Scientific questions

  • Developing hydrodynamic and morphological code permiting to simulate extreme floods including levee failures.
  • Describing all the obstacles and exchanges during an urban flood
  • Taking into account sediment varaibility through two parameters: median diameter d50 and standard deviation σ; how to manage the evolution of these two parameters using specific equations for deposition, erosion, mixtures, for instance to represent grain sorting.
