Abstract: This paper describes efforts toward developing a reliable numerical model to predict pump intake flow and associated vortices. Numerical prediction of these flows characterized by the formation of unsteady (meandering) ...

Abstract: Large-eddy simulation (LES) and laboratory-flume visualizations were used to investigate coherent structures present in the flow field around a circular cylinder located in a scour hole. The bathymetry corresponds to ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted in a laboratory model to validate a numerical model developed to simulate the three-dimensional turbulent flow in a water-pump-intake bay. The laboratory model was designed to reproduce the ...

Abstract: Vegetation as multiple stems in various configurations or an isolated stem profoundly alters turbulent flows. Past research has shown that these alterations influence sediment transport and stream morphology, but entail ...
