Abstract: A stable and well-balanced finite volume method was proposed to solve the shallow water equations coupled with a sediment transport equation. An approximate Riemann solver with a monotone upstream-centered schemes for ...

Abstract: Local pier scour experiments were performed in the laboratory to investigate the effect of relative sediment size on pier scour depth using three uniform sediment sizes and three bridge pier designs at different geometric ...

Abstract: A chimera overset grid flow solver is developed for solving the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in arbitrarily complex, multiconnected domains. The details of the numerical method were presented ...
