Lagrangian Simulation of One-Dimensional Dam-Break Flow

The note demonstrates the application of a pure Lagrangian numerical method to dam-break flows by solving the St. Venant equations. The method is developed based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics. It is easy to apply and is shown to be capable of providing accurate simulations for mixed flow regimes with strong shocks.
