2‐D Depth‐Averaged Flow Computation near Groyne

Abstract

The depth‐averaged velocity and bottom shear stress distributions in a rectangular channel near a groyne are computed by using a 2‐D depth averaged model. The model uses a hybrid finite difference scheme and an iterative method to solve the governing equations of flow and turbulence transport. Due to streamline curvature effects in the region near the groyne tip, a correction factor is incorporated into the
