contents The shallow water equations are numerically solved to simulate free surface flows. The convective flux terms in the shallow water equations need to be discretized using a Riemann solver to capture shocks and discontinuity for certain flow situations such as hydraulic jump, dam-break wave propagation or bore wave propagation, levee-breaching flows, etc. The approximate Riemann solver can capture shocks and is popular for studying open-channel flow dynamics with traditional mesh-based numerical methods. Though meshless methods can work on highly irregular geometry without involving the complex mesh generation procedure, the shock-capturing capability has not been implemented, especially for solving open-channel flows. Therefore, we have proposed a numerical method, namely, a shock-capturing meshless geometric conservation weighted least square (GC-WLS) method for solving the shallow water equations. The HLL (Harten-Lax-Van Leer) Riemann solver is implemented within the framework of the proposed meshless method. The spatial derivatives in the shallow water equations and the reconstruction of conservative variables for high-order accuracy are computed using the GC-WLS method. The proposed meshless method is tested for various numerically challenging open-channel flow problems, including analytical, laboratory experiments, and a large-scale physical model study on dam-break event.

The shallow water equations are numerically solved to simulate free surface flows.
