“…However, most SPH applications have been documented in the coastal hydrodynamics, such as wave breaking (Monaghan and Kos, 1999;Dalrymple and Rogers, 2006), wave overtopping (Gomez-Gesteira et al, 2005) and wave interaction with breakwater (Rogers et al, 2010). Other areas of common SPH application are related to some rapid unsteady flows, such as dam break (Afshar and Shobeyri, 2010), water entry of an object (Oger et al, 2006) and landslide-induced wave (Ataie-Ashtiani and Shobeyri, 2008). It has been noted that very few SPH works are reported in the open channel flows.…”
