Abstract
This chapter presents dimensional analytical solutions of empirical models for three shapes of dam-breach erosion: rectangular, triangular, and trapezoidal. The models employ a reservoir water-mass depletion equation, broad-crested weir hydraulics, a breach-erosion relation, and an assumed breach shape. Both linear and nonlinear cases of breach erosion are treated.
