To accurately predict the mean flow and turbulence characteristics of open-channel dividing flows, a hybrid LES-RANS model, which combines the large eddy simulation （LES） model with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） model, is proposed in the present study. The unsteady RANS model was used to simulate the upstream and downstream regions of a main channel, as well as the downstream region of a branch channel. The LES model was used to simulate the channel diversion region, where turbulent flow characteristics are complicated. Isotropic velocity fluctuations were added at the inflow interface of the LES region to trigger the generation of resolved turbulence. A method based on the virtual body force is proposed to impose Reynolds-averaged velocity fields near the outlet of the LES region in order to take downstream flow effects computed by the RANS model into account and dissipate the excessive turbulent fluctuations. This hybrid approach saves computational effort and makes it easier to properly specify inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Comparison between computational results and experimental data indicates that this relatively new modeling approach can accurately predict open-channel T-diversion flows.展开更多

Based on a mixing-layer analogy, different analytical models have been proposed for the velocity profile in the two layers. This paper evaluates the four analytical models of Klopstra et al., Defina & Bixio, Yang et al. and Nepf against a wide range of independent experimental data available in the literature. To test the applicability and robust of the models, the author used the 19 datasets with various relative depths of submergence, different vegetation densities and bed slopes (1.8 × 10?6 - 4.0 × 10?3). This study shows that none of the models can predict the velocity profiles well for all datasets. The three models except Yang’s model performed reasonably well in certain cases, but Yang’s model failed in most the cases studied. It was also found that the Defina model is almost the same as the Klopstra model, if the same mixing length scale of eddies (λ) is used. Finally, close examination of the mixing length scale of eddies (λ) in the Defina model showed that when λ/h = 1/40(H/h)1/2, this model can predict velocity profiles well for all the datasets used.展开更多

Open-channel junction flows were analyzed by solving the depth-averaged two-dimensional, elliptic Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the Hanjalic-Launder (H-L) modification to the k-ε turbulence model without the free surface “rigid lid” approximation with an efficient finite-volume procedure. The model can also analyze flows with separation. The model was used to analyze the relative importance of various factors and was compared with laboratory measurements. The H-L modification produced much better simulations of the separation zone size with 20% better accuracy than the standard k-ε model. The H-L modification was then used to study the characteristic of junction flows and the separation zones with different discharge ratios. The simulational results show that separation zone size decreases as the discharge ratio of the upstream main channel to the downstream channel increases.展开更多

The effect of vegetation is represented with the vegetation roughness coefficient, which is related to the vegetation density, diameter of the vegetation elements and drag coefficient. The model is verified by three numerical tests: flow in a 180° curved open channel with partial vegetation cover at the outer bank, flow in a rectangular channel with a finite patch of vegetation and flow in a rectangular channel with a vegetated bank. Numerical results are compared with the experimental data, and the good agreement proved that the presented model can model the vegetated channel flows correctly.展开更多

Simulation results were compared with observation of (i) turbulent flows in alternating point-bar type channel bends with rectangular sections, and (ii) straight open channel flows with compound cross-sections. Based on calculations of the impact of various channel curvatures on turbulence characteristics, accuracy of the three turbulence models was analyzed with observed data as a qualitative reference. It has been found out that the Launder and Ying model and the nonlinear k-ε Model are able to predict the same general trend as measured data, and the simulation of the effect of the centrifugal force on the formation of secondary currents produces a correct pattern.展开更多

However, the details of the mechanism such as energy transport are poorly understood. Therefore, we conducted PIV mea- surements in a laboratory flume and compared space distributions of mean velocity components and Reynolds stress by varying a cavity geometry. In particular, a practical calculation method of Reynolds stress was also developed and its accuracy was examined by comparison with the measured data. Furthermore, contributions of components in an energy transport equation were revealed quantitatively.展开更多

The mean flow pattern and the secondary current are obtained. The model is validated by experimental data, and then applied to investigate the effect of the discharge ratio on the shape of separation zone shape, the cross-sectional mean flow angle and the contraction coefficient. The results are fairly close to those of the prior studies. The numerical modeling is both less time-consuming and less expensive to obtain the various flow parameters needed for engineering design.展开更多

The temporal mean and turbulent characteristics will not vary again in the course of the uniform open-channel flow. There is obviously a structure of different regions in the vertical direction of a smooth open-channel turbulent flow. The limits of different regions, the velocity profiles and characteristics of fluctuating velocities in such regions are given. When the aspect ratio W/H is larger than 10, the flow in the open channel may be considered as a 2-dimensional flow. The formulas of sectional averaged velocity and frictional loss factor are also given.展开更多
