Three-Dimensional Computation of Flow around Groyne
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 123, Issue 11
Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation of a steady, shallow turbulent flow around a groyne in a rectangular channel is presented. A method used to track a moving surface boundary and to follow its evolution, using a one-phase 3D Reynolds solver with rigid grids, by means of a transient fraction of fluid or “porosity” field is applied. Some results are compared with experimental data, such as the isolines of water depths and the mean velocity field. A comparison of the reattachment length prediction using the free-surface model and the rigid-lid assumption is given. Other results concerning the pressure field, turbulence, or shear stress distribution are presented and analyzed.
