Adaptive quadtree simulation of sediment transport

Shallow Flow Simulation on Dynamically Adaptive Cut-cell Quadtree Grids

A computationally efficient, high-resolution numerical model of shallow flow hydrodynamics is described, based on boundary-fitted adaptive quadtree grids. The numerical model solves the two-dimensional non-linear shallow water equations by means of an explicit second-order MUSCL-Hancock Godunov-type finite volume scheme. Interface fluxes are evaluated using an HLLC approximate Riemann solver. T...

ADAPTIVE NEURO-FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION USING PSO FOR PREDICTING SEDIMENT TRANSPORT IN SEWERS

The flow in sewers is a complete three phase flow (air, water and sediment). The mechanism of sediment transport in sewers is very important. In other words, the passing flow must able to wash deposited sediments and the design should be done in an economic and optimized way. In this study, the sediment transport process in sewers is simulated using a hybrid model. In other words, using the Ada...

Quadtree-adaptive tsunami modelling

The well-balanced, positivity-preserving scheme of Audusse et al, 2004, for the solution of the Saint-Venant equations with wetting and drying, is generalised to an adaptive quadtree spatial discretisation. The scheme is validated using an analytical solution for the oscillation of a fluid in a parabolic container, as well as the classic Monai tsunami laboratory benchmark. An efficient database...

Direct Numerical Simulation of Sediment Transport in a Horizontal Channel

Large eddy simulation of sediment transport over rippled beds

Wave-induced boundary layer (BL) flows over sandy rippled bottoms are studied using a numerical model that applies a one-way coupling of a “far-field” inviscid flow model to a “near-field” large eddy simulation (LES) Navier– Stokes (NS) model. The incident inviscid velocity and pressure fields force the LES, in which near-field, wave-induced, turbulent bottom BL flows are simulated. A sediment ...
