The numerical treatment of wet/dry fronts in shallow flows: application to one-layer and two-layer systems

We present some numerical results: for one-layer fluids, we compare the numerical results with some measurements corresponding to a physical model. For two-layer systems, we use the numerical scheme to perform a lock-exchange experiment, and we verify its validity by comparing the steady state reached with an approximate solution obtained by Armi and Farmer in 7., 8. by using a simplified model.
