The numerical analysis of the water flow along the 'Wild River' type water slide is presented. As the mathematical model of the free surface flow shallow water equations are assumed. In order to solve the equations, when transient, rapidly varied flow is present, the numerical scheme based on finite volume method is applied. The numerical simulation of water slide flow is computed on unstructured, triangular mesh. The results of calculation are examined against flow parameters observed on the real object installed in water park in Sopot. Generally good agreement between measured and calculated results was observed. Moreover, the calculations are compared to experimental data available due to physical modelling. As the similarity between physical phenomena of flow within water slide and in the river valley after dam-break event is observed, the investigation was realized within the framework of the State Committee for Scientific Research 6P06S04121 project.
