Tailings Dam Failure Essentials - Part 1

Explore essential concepts of tailings dam failure modeling in this 48-minute webinar. Learn best practices for simulating non-Newtonian flow in 1D, 2D, and 3D models, and discover how recent technological advancements improve prediction accuracy for failure mechanisms and inundation zones. Examine a case study of the Brumadinho Dam failure, comparing results from five different modeling software applications calibrated against real-world observations. Gain insights into non-Newtonian model calibration using TUFLOW, FLO-2D tailings dam breach modeling, and calibration models with FLOW-3D. Delve into rheological parameters and their application in HEC-RAS, followed by a Q&A session addressing specific software parameters and modeling techniques.
