Free
surfaces
The dam
break example demonstrates the application of the free surface capability
of Flo++. The method makes use of the CICSAM
discretization method - a high resolution scheme specially tailored to
capture a step function smoothly in multiple dimensions.
Figures
1 to 3 below shows the dam break problem at different time steps. (You may
download the following avi file for the complete animation : dambreak.zip.)

method see Ubbink, O., 1997, Numerical prediction of two fluid
systems with sharp interfaces. PhD
