Description:

Join us on April 9, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Modeling Tailings Dam Failures with 2-Phase FLow. This webinar will cover the following: 

  • Failure modes of a tailing dam. Discussion of recent tailings dam failures.
  • Use of Tailings Dam Tool and regression equations to estimate volume releases. 
  • Simulate tailings dam breach including tailings material and water volume using a two-phase flow model.
  • Predict downstream mudflow inundation.
  • Simulate mudflow – fluid exchange with scour and deposition, downstream tributary inflow and mudflow into lakes and reservoirs.
  • Predict sediment routing by size fraction, and mudflow cessation and re-mobilization.
  • Set up a project using QGIS and the FLO-2D model. Application of the Tailings Dam Tool.
  • Mudflow Hazard Mapping.

Learning objectives attendees will receive from this webinar:

  • Understand potential failure modes of tailing dams.
  • Learn about basic data and key factors for tailing dam failure modeling.
  • Simulate tailing dam failures using a two-phase flow model.
  • Review mapping and analysis of results.
