Simulation of flow pattern in intake by using a numerical model
Authors
Abstract:
Lateral intake is a structure constructed next to a main channel to divert part of the flow within the channel. The separated area of the flow in the entrance of intake channel has no effect on flow discharge while reduces the effective cross-sectional area of the intake, as well as the bed load, which enters the intake due to low velocity flow deposits in this area. Thus, knowing the dimensions of the separated area at the intake channel entrance is particularly important. In this study, flow separation zone was calculated at the intake entrance of 90 degree in three depths of 3, 6, and 12 cm from the bottom of the channel for discharge ratios of 0.2 and 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 in five turbulence models using three-dimensional Flow-3D model. In order to determine the accuracy of the model in predicting the dimensions of the separated areas, the obtained results were compared with the results of the physical model. Streamlines were drawn and dimensions of the separated areas were determined. In comparing results between the laboratory observations and the predicted ones by numerical model, Reynolds Normal Group model (RNG) had better predictions, with a correlation coefficient of 0.97, root mean square error of 3.16, and a mean absolute error of 2.3 cm, than other turbulence models.

One of the most concerning issues for researchers is to predict the shape and dimensions of the scour pit nearhydraulic structures such as the base of bridges, weirs, valves and stilling basins due to both financial and humanhazards induced by destruction of the structure. As the scour issue has its own complexity in relation to themultiplicity of effecting factors on it, in this study therefor...

Abstract The coupled MODFLOW-HYDRUS software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a Flood Spreading System (FSS) and its associated aquifer. The study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. The coupled model was built with average RMSE=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration ...

The method of lattice boltzmann equation(LBE) is a kinetic-based approach for fluid flow computations. In the last decade, minimal kinetic models, and primarily the LBE, have met with significant success in the simulation of complex hydrodynamic phenomena, ranging from slow flows in grossly irregular geometries to fully developed turbulence, to flow with dynamic phase transitions. In the presen...
