Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the dynamic action exerted on the vertical end wall of a rectangular channel by the wave propagating in the tailwater region after total dam break. It is shown that the results of calculations using the first shallow-water approximation differ from experimental data by not more than 5%.

Keywords: moving hydraulic jump (bore), reflection from vertical wall, force action.
