Fourth order accuracy in space was provided by using the Monotone Upstream-centered Schemes for Conservation Laws-Total Variation Diminishing scheme, whereas fourth order accurate solution in time was achieved by using the third order predictor scheme of Adams-Basforth followed by the fourth order corrector scheme of Adams-Moulton. The applicability and accuracy of the solution algorithm were explored on complex flow conditions. These flow conditions cover a theoretical well-known partial two-dimensional dam break problems and an experimental flow in a compound channel with or without a bridge. The applicability limits of the solution algorithm were discussed. The overall performance of the solution was found to be reasonably good.
