Practical Use of Computational Fluid Dynamic Models as a Design Tool - Limitations and Assumptions
Publication: Critical Transitions in Water and Environmental Resources Management
Abstract
Three-Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical models of the Bonneville Forebay, the Bonneville Tailrace and The Dalles Forebay were developed to address specific design questions. In the process of developing the models, simplifying assumptions are made so the model can provide results within a reasonable time frame. As new uses for the models are identified, it is very important that the original simplifying assumptions and model limitations are identified, revisited and articulated. A practical discussion, with examples, about the numerical model assumptions and limitations will be presented.
