Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Applications in Water-Resources Engineering
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 148, Issue 12
The special collection on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Applications in Water-Resources Engineering is available in the ASCE Library (https://ascelibrary.org/jidedh/computational_fluid_dynamics).
CFD is being applied increasingly in water resources to solve practical problems. In the last decade, researchers and practitioners have tackled a broad range of CFD applications in hydraulic engineering, leading to some important insights. Still, in the world of hydraulics, CFD remains an evolving and vital area of research that depends on experimental results as well numerical analysis. Current research is focused on making CFD more robust, accurate, and applicable to the most complex flows in water-resources engineering. The collection of papers listed subsequently focuses on the latest research results on many practical applications of CFD in water-resources and hydraulic engineering.
This collection caters to and benefits both researchers and professionals in the industry, while connecting fundamental research with practical applications. All 16 papers published in this collection have undergone rigorous peer review.
