Abstract: The purpose of this study is to model the flow movement in an idealized dam‐break configuration. One‐dimensional and two‐dimensional motion of a shallow flow over a rigid inclined bed is considered. The resulting shallow water equations are solved by finite volumes using the Roe and HLL schemes. At first, the one‐dimensional model is considered in the development process. With conservative finite volume method, splitting is applied to manage the combination of hyperbolic term and source term of the shallow water equation and then to promote 1D to 2D. The simulations are validated by the comparison with flume experiments. Unsteady dam‐break flow movement is found to be reasonably well captured by the model. The proposed concept could be further developed to the numerical calculation of non‐Newtonian fluid or multilayers fluid flow.
