In this study, the characteristics of inertia and viscous regions of shallow flow are investigated by means of dam break flow with finite volume occurring in a smooth rectangular channel. Inviscid fluid and viscous fluid, comprising of Newtonian and non-Newtonian are studied theoretically and similarity solutions describing both inertia and viscous regions are derived. Theoretical findings are verified with two numerical models: a depth averaged model and a Lagrangian grid-less model (MPS or Moving Particle Semi-Implicit).
