Abstract: The mesh-free method, moving particle semi-implicit method (MPS), has become a useful numerical tool in simulating free-surface flows. Broad-crested weirs are considered as a common hydraulic structure and have been ...

Abstract: In this study, sediment transport is considered as a typical multiphase flow in numerical simulation using a particle-based method and efforts are focused on reducing interface instability between phases. A new multiphase ...

Abstract: Using a depth-averaged model to obtain the velocity and pressure distributions in the vertical direction is difficult. A multilayer model is an option that can be used to improve on the depth-averaged model. However, the ...

Abstract: A model is developed to account for the vertical distribution of velocity and nonhydrostatic pressure in one-dimensional open-channel flows. The model is based on both classical multilayer models and depth-averaged and ...

Abstract: Dealing with large deformation and fragmentation of geometries and interfaces (e.g., free surfaces), the regular mesh-based Eulerian methods, such as finite-element and finite-difference methods, have difficulties in ...

Abstract: This paper provides a quantitative comparison of a benchmarking dam-break case simulated by a particle method. The velocity comparison is usually absent in particle-method simulation, but both the water surface and velocity ...

Abstract: In this study, sediment transport is considered as a typical multiphase flow in numerical simulation using a particle-based method and efforts are focused on reducing interface instability between phases. A new multiphase ...

Abstract: A numerical model for Type I circular sedimentation tanks (center feed) has been developed to provide useful information for circular tank operation. The unsteady flow process in circular sedimentation tanks is divided by ...

Abstract: The development of the equation for the lateral distribution of boundary shear starts from a simplified streamwise vorticity equation which includes only the secondary Reynolds stress terms. Transverse anisotropy is modeled ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to simplify the original one-dimensional mathematical model that is used to simulate the performance of nonuniform particle sizes in Class-I settling tanks. This paper shows that the modified ...
