Recently, climate change has resulted in an increasing number of heavy rainfall events. Heavy rainfalls tend to cause large-scale landslides and create large landslide dams. Large landslide dams retain a large amount of water and often burst causing floods and catastrophic damage in the downstream area. Therefore, the study of landslide dam deformation is essential for predicting potential floods to implement effective flood risk management. To understand the landslide dam deformation process and dam outflow discharge characteristics, we carried out flume experiments of landslide dam erosion by overtopping flow. In the flume experiments, we observed the landslide dam deformation process directly. We found that dam height and inflow discharge affect to outflow discharge. Secondly, we developed a numerical model to simulate landslide dam erosion by overtopping flow. To improve the prediction of the outflow discharge, we incorporated the inertial debris flow model, the side bank erosion model, and the slope collapse model into our numerical model. The resulting proposed model is tested by comparing the results of simulation with experiment data. In addition, we organized experimental data by dimensionless quantity and it may indicated that peak outflow is expressed by dam height and inflow discharge.
