A new tool for hydrokinetic energy potential assessment in rivers—HYDROKAL, which stands for a ‘‘hydrokinetic calculator’’—is presented. This tool was developed in the Fortran 90 programming language as an external module for the CCHE2D application, an existing two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model developed at the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering, Universit...

In this study, the CCHE2D model is used to analyse flow pattern in a meander reach of Gomati River. The finite volume method by numerical solve depth-averaged two-dimensional equations with

Abstract: Commonly, for being done a numerical modeling of any natural phenomenon, like as water flow pattern, need to an exquisite and modify calculated mesh. For gaining this standard calculated mesh, different calculated meshes must be analyzed sensitively. Thus, the optimum calculated mesh could be selected. At the present paper, the first, a powerful two dimensional numerical model which i...

Abstract In this study, the CCHE2D model was used to analyze flow patterns in Tigris River Baghdad city around a water treatment plant. To end, calibrated and validated steady-state using relevant boundary conditions. The initial surface level at Sarai station for three discharges of 289, 530, 870 m 3 /s. Hence, appropriate manning roughness modulus equivalent mixing length turbulent models wer...

A multi-block algorithm and its implementation in two-dimensional finite element numerical model CCHE2D are presented. In addition to a conventional Lagrangian Interpolation Method (LIM), a novel interpolation method, called Consistent Interpolation Method (CIM), is proposed for more accurate information transfer across the interfaces. The consistent interpolation solves the governing equations...
