Abstract
The wall of a large tank or reservoir breaks, sending fluid against a secondary containment dyke. The impact of the surging fluid against the safety barrier is studied. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation (for vertical dykes) are in good agreement with experimental data concerning overflow and total spillage as well as the fluid motion after collision, including the development and formation of a strong shock. The dependence of spillage on the inclination of the dyke is also determined by experiment.
