Numerical prediction of bed-load and surface deformation on a granular bed sheared by a turbulent boundary-layer

Mathematical Modeling of Flow in a Granular Permeable Bed Channel

In this research, a two-dimensional mathematical model using  turbulence model was developed in a rectangular channel with granular permeable bed. Finite volume method was used for numerical solution of governing equations. The equations considered are discretized using Hybrid difference scheme while applying SIMPLE algorithm to correct velocity components in the continuity equation. In the dev...

Bed-load Transport of Mixed-size Sediment: Fractional Transport Rates, Bed Forms, and the Development of a Coarse Bed-surface Layer

Turbulent Structure of Water and Clay Suspensions with Bed Load

The discusser wishes to congratulate the authors for their excellent paper. He would like to discuss some possible drag reduction effects. The discusser has reanalyzed the authors' data assuming quasi-uniform flows at the end of the channel. For the clearwater flow experiments (runs C-1 and C-2), the data suggest an equivalent roughness height k, of the flume (smooth plexiglass) between 0.15 mm...

On Coherent Structures of Turbulent Open-channel Flow Above a Rough Bed

Present study examines turbulent structures of a rough bed open-channel flow in the context of deterministic approach. Instantaneous velocity field is measured in different hydraulic conditions using two dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in vertical plane and Stereoscopic PIV in horizontal plane. Different techniques and quantities such as swirl strength, two-point and cross-correlat...

Numerical investigation of the turbulent boundary layer over a bump

Large-eddy simulation (LES) has been used to calculate the flow of a statistically two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer over a bump. Subgrid-scale stresses in the filtered Navier–Stokes equations were closed using the dynamic eddy viscosity model. LES predictions for a range of grid resolutions were compared to the experimental measurements of Webster et al. (1996). Predictions of the mean ...
