Numerical Computaion of a Rapidly Varied Flow with Free Surface

Rapidly Varied Unsteady Flow in a Small Scale Dry Bed Model

In this paper the rapidly varied unsteady flow caused by the failure of a dam in a rectangular dry bed horizontal channel has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Experiments with dam-break flows in smooth and rough channel have been carried out. Comparisons have been made between measured depth hydrographs at different stations along the channel and analytical solution of Ritter...

Numerical Solution of Steady Free-Surface Navier-Stokes Flow

The usual time integration approach for solving steady viscous free surface flow problems has several drawbacks. We propose instead an efficient iterative method, which relies on a different but equivalent formulation of the free surface flow problem, involving a so-called quasi free-surface condition. Furthermore, we present a method for analyzing the properties of wave solutions of the discre...

Direct Numerical Simulation of Free-surface and Interfacial Flow

The numerical simulation of flows with interfaces and free-surface flows is a vast topic, with applications to domains as varied as environment, geophysics, engineering, and fundamental physics. In engineering, as well as in other disciplines, the study of liquid-gas interfaces is important in combustion problems with liquid and gas reagents. The formation of droplet clouds or sprays that subse...

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Non-newtonian Mixing Flow with a Free Surface

The object of this work was to evaluate the capability of numerical simulation to predict different features of non-Newtonian fluid mixing process. A relatively simple impeller (six bladed vane rotor) was used for the mixing of carboxymethyl cellulose. A LDA method was used to measure the tangential velocity at two points inside the mixing vessel. Using visualization, a significant vortex above...
