Hinze, J.O. (author)
NOTE: REPORT IN GERMAN, ONLY THE ABSTRACT IS IN ENGLISH Memory effects in the flow of fluids are known long since. One has to reckon with such effects when studying the flow of non-Newtonian fluids, for instance when they exhibit a visco-elastic behaviour. Certain phenomena in turbulence also seem to point towards a visco-elastic behaviour. If,...

Kolkman, P.A. (author)
The objective of this study is to develop design criteria for the dynamic behaviour of gates and valves. To this end, a resume of existing theories is given as well as an extended analysis of the added water mass, hydrodynamic rigidity and damping (also negative damping or self-excitation) and excitation by turbulent flow. New computation...

De Vriend, H.J. (author)
After the study of fully developed and developing steady laminar flow in curved channels of shallow rectangular wet cross-section (see earlier reports in this series), steady turbulent flow in such channels is investigated as a next step towards a mathematical model of the flow in shallow river bends. A mathematical model is developed for this...

Koppel, T. (author)
Experiments on unsteady separating flow past a sudden expansion in an open channel are described. To simulate tidal flow the flow rate in the approach channel varied as a half-sine with time. Different visualization techniques to obtain an insight into the behaviour of the separating vortex in time and space were used. Laser-Doppler velocimetry ...

Booij, R. (author)
For the prediction of dispersion phenomena and of changes in the morphology of an alluvial bottom, a detailed description of the water flow is necessary. The flow in estuaries is a complicated one, partly because of the time-dependence. To isolate this aspect of tidal flow a simplifying one-dimensional (vertical) flow model 1S used. This one...

Kranenburg, C. (author)
A k-model is formulated that consists of the turbulent kinetic energy equation and an algebraic expression for the mixing length taking into account the influence of stratification. Applicability of the model is restricted to shallow, nearly horizontal flows. For local-equilibrium flows the model reduces to the well-known mixing-length...

Hoffmans, G.J.C.M. (author)
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...

Bijvelds, M.D.J.P. (author)
In this report the water flow in harbours, that are situated on a river, are considered. Due to the flow velocity difference between the river and the harbour, a turbulent mixing layer develops at the harbour entrance. The shallowness of the water induces the coexistance of two disparate turbulent length scales in these regions. Besides the ...

Suastika, I.K. (author)
In this report we present some results of a laboratory pilot study which has been conducted to test a method to artificially enhance the turbulence of a water flow in a laboratory flume. The purpose of this test is to provide data which will be used to verify whether the method is suitable for the study of the dissipative effects of turbulence...

Kranenburg, C. (author)
The Prandtl mixing-length model of turbulent exchange of mass and momentum is applied to calculate the entrainment of overlying water into a layer of suspended fine sediment at a horizontal bed. In the field the flow and turbulence in such a concentrated benthic suspension (CBS) are driven by a streamwise pressure gradient resulting from the...

Van Prooijen, B.C. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)
The development of large coherent structures in a shallow mixing layer is analyzed. The results are validated with experimental data obtained from particle tracking velocimetry. The mean flow field is modeled using the self-similarity of the velocity profiles. The characteristic features of the down-stream development of a shallow mixing layer...

The variational multiscale method has been shown to perform well for large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The method relies upon a partition of the resolved velocity field into large- and small-scale components. The subgrid model then acts only on the small scales of motion, unlike conventional LES models which act on all scales of...

Energy transfers within large-eddy simulation (LES) and direct numerical simulation (DNS) grids are studied. The spectral eddy viscosity for conventional dynamic Smagorinsky and variational multiscale LES methods are compared with DNS results. Both models underestimate the DNS results for a very coarse LES, but the dynamic Smagorinsky model is...

Hofland, B. (author)
Layers of stone or rock are often applied around hydraulic structures to protect the sand bed from scouring. Determining the size of the rocks is complicated by the fact that the flow over a bed protection usually is non-uniform. This thesis describes two experimental series in which the stability of a single stone under non-uniform flows is...

In many areas around the world, there is a large interest in the protection and restoration of aquatic vegetation, like eelgrass (Zostera marina), but little is known about the interaction of such vegetation with its environment. To improve this knowledge, a model has been developed that simulates this interaction between highly flexible...

The current research is aimed at finding a dimensionless stability parameter for non-uniform flow in which the effect of turbulence is incorporated. To this end, experiments were carried out in which both the bed response (quantified by a dimensionless entrainment rate) and the flow field (velocity and turbulence intensity distributions) are...
