Abstract: An efficient artificial compressibility algorithm is developed for solving the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the low-Reynolds number k-ω turbulence ...

Abstract: Various approaches for constructing artificial dissipation terms for three-dimensional artificial compressibility algorithms are presented and evaluated. Two, second-order accurate, central-differencing ...

Abstract: A numerical model is developed for solving the depth-averaged, open-channel flow equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates. The equations are discretized in space in strong conservation form using a space-centered, ...

Abstract: We develop, validate, and demonstrate the potential of Virtual StreamLab (VSL3D), a novel three-dimensional hydromorphodynamics computational model capable of simulating turbulent flow and sediment transport in natural ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) numerical model for predicting steady, in the mean, turbulent flows through lateral intakes with rough walls is developed, validated, and employed in a parametric study. The method solves the ...

Abstract: The use of in-stream flow training structures for channel stabilization has become increasingly popular due to its potential cost effectiveness and ecological benefits. When properly designed and maintained, these structures ...

Abstract: The term transcritical flow denotes the existence of both subcritical and supercritical flow regimes in an open-channel system. It is similar to transonic flow in gas dynamics. Transcritical flow is encountered in many ...
