BOTTOM SHEAR STRESSES OF FLOWS OVER A WAVY BED BY USING DEPTH AVERAGED FLOW EQUATIONS

Numerical simulation of lava flows based on depth-averaged equations

Risks and damages associated with lava flows propagation (for instance the most recent Etna eruptions) require a quantitative description of this phenomenon and a reliable forecasting of lava flow paths. Due to the high complexity of these processes, numerical solution of the complete conservation equations for real lava flows is often practically impossible. To overcome the computational diffi...

Numerical Modeling of the Depth-Averaged Flow Over a Hill

This paper reports the development and application of a 2D depth-averaged model. The main goal of this contribution is to apply the depth averaged equations to a wind park model in which the treatment of the geometry, introduced on the mathematical model by the mass and momentum source terms. The depth-averaged model will be used in future to find the optimal position of wind turbines in the wi...

A Numerical Study of Flow Dispersion Stresses in 2D Depth Averaged Model for Curvilinear Flow Domain

The objective of the study is to present a two dimensional model with incorporated dispersion terms as source term in transport equations for simulation of curvilinear flow field. The comparison of the simulated velocity field and water surface elevation indicated that the incorporation of such terms has reasonably improved the secondary flow scenario. Keywords— Flow simulation, numerical model...

Simulating Flows Over Wavy Inclined Surfaces

Near-bottom shear stresses in a small, highly stratified estuary

[1] This paper examines near-bottom shear stresses at two locations in a small, highly stratified estuary: the Navesink River, New Jersey, USA. The shear stresses obtained from acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) operating in the recently developed mode 11 at a high spatial resolution are examined in detail. Measurement noise of the ADCP is estimated using autocorrelation analyses and is...
