Physical model tests of Kobayashi and Lawrance (2004) are replicated in a numerical 2D flume. We have used InterFOAM, a three dimensional, two phase, RANS solver, which is a part of OpenFOAM modelling library, in order to obtain the detailed spatial and temporal variations of the free surface elevation and velocity.
