Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, equilibrium scour formed by submerged planar turbulent wall jets over a sediment bed is modeled. The theoretical framework consists of a flow model coupled with an equilibrium scour model. Using ...

Abstract: An analytical solution of the standard k-ϵ model is proposed to study the turbulent characteristics of nonuniform flow. Initially, the most suitable functional forms are assumed for turbulent kinetic energy, k, turbulence ...

Abstract: The time-averaged turbulent flow characteristics in a wall-wake flow downstream of a wall-mounted vertical cylinder (free-surface piercing) are analyzed from the viewpoint of self-similarity in their vertical profiles. In ...

Abstract: In this study, a mathematical model for the Reynolds stress profiles in different regions of a submerged turbulent plane offset jet was developed. The two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and the continuity ...
