If the required parameters for the advanced models are specified, the user can restart the calculation.

The results of all models are shown on the right screen of the program as a property screen, as well as in two additional charts.

In this version, there is no separate report. 

 

In this case the advanced models indicate no failure of the embankment: in the charts the text blocks are green (whereas the results in the global and detailed check are red, indicating failure).

According to the liquefaction model (chart left below), there are no points in the under water slope that are "metastable", indicating that liquefaction is very unlikely.

 

 

Sand transport per cluster in Breach flow

The Advanced Breach flow graphs shows the sand transport rate along the sand slope (as a function of horizontal distance from the top of the slope), in the case an initial disturbance (initiation height) occurs.

 

Depending on slope geometry and sand properties the HMBreach module in D Flow slide computes at which initiation height an erosive  self accelerating turbidity current develops  that can result in retrogressive breach flow slide damaging the fore shore.

If this initiation height is lower than the most probable value for an accidental slope disturbance (called the allowable initiation height), the slope geometry is considered susceptible to breach flow slide. (FAILS).

 

The line in the graph increases in horizontal direction (to the left) in that case.
