Abstract

This study investigates the failure and flood wave propagation analyses of the Atasu Dam located in Trabzon. The dam failure model and flood wave propagation were evaluated using a two-dimensional modeling approach based on the diffusion wave method. The analyses focused on examining hydrographs generated under different reservoir water levels and detailing the flood wave propagation along the downstream region. Modeling results obtained through the diffusion wave approach evaluated the movement and velocity distributions of the flood wave along the downstream area. The findings demonstrated that the diffusion wave method effectively represents flow velocities and enables the analysis of flood depths in critical regions. This study provides valuable data for flood risk management and emergency response planning.
