Ein Algebrisches Turbulenzmodel für Ästuare

The density distribution within a fluid is of great importance for flow and transport phenomena in geophysical computational fluid dynamics. All turbulent exchange processes are influenced by buoyancy effects and must be adequately considered in numerical models. Parameterizations of the vertical eddy viscosity and eddy diffusivity are presented...

Users manual: DUCT-SUSTRA

Some information is given how to use the scour model DUCT-SUSTRA (Hoffmans, 1991). The scour model predicts the morphological process in scour holes or trenches and consists of two separated sub-models: a flow model DUCT and a morphological model SUSTRA. The flow model is based on the equation of continuity and the momentum equations for...

Local Scour: Flow simulation by the 2-D turbulent model ODYSSEE

The general purpose of this research project is to model mathematically the local scour downstream of a structure (2-D). The model has to simulate the development of the scour as a function of the time. Basically two models are necessary namely a flow model and a morphological model. The latter model has to describe the bed and suspended load...

Local Scour: Damping of turbulence parameters in relaxation zone

The general purpose of this research project is to model mathematically the scour-hole downstream of a structure (2-D). The model has to simulate the development of the scour as a function of time. Basically two models are necessary namely a flow model and a morphological model. The latter has to describe the bed- and suspended load and the...

Local Scour: Influence of an exponential eddy viscosity distribution on the longitudial flow velocity

The general purpose of this research project is to model mathematically the local scour downstream of a structure (2-D). The model has to simulate the development of the scour as a function of the time. Basically two models are necessary namely a flow model and a morphological model. The latter model has to describe the bed and suspended load...

Local Scour: Flow model with prescribed eddy viscosity

A two dimensional mathematical model DUCT, which is based on a parabolic boundary layer technique, using finite elements, is proposed to predict the flow and turbulence field in complicated geometrical conditions, where recirculating flow may occur. Numerical results of the DUCT-model are compared with k-eps-predictions as well as laboratory...

Verfication of a model of the Eastern Scheldt

This report describes a verification simulation of a model of the Eastern Scheldt. Boundary conditions for a simulation of flows and water levels on 11 January 1982 are obtained from gauging stations in the offshore area of the estuary by use of weighting functions obtained from simulations with other models of conditions of September 1975 in...
