DEPTH-AVERAGED FLOW FIELDS IN MEANDERING CHANNELS WITH ALLUVIAL EQUILIBRIUM BED

The Effect of Bed Roughness on Depth- Discharge Relations in Alluvial Channels

Alluvial channel stage-discharge and depth-discharge relations were studied in a large sand-bed recirculating flume. From this study, it was found that the form of these relations are intimately related to: 1. Regime of flow 2. Form of bed roughness a. Characteristics of the bed material b. Concentration of fine sediment c. Temperature 3. Rate of change of discharge with time In the range of sh...

Numerical Investigation of Island Effects on Depth Averaged Fluctuating Flow in the Persian Gulf

In the present paper simulation of tidal currents on three-dimensional geometry of the Persian Gulf is performed by the solution of the depth averaged hydrodynamics equations. The numerical solution was applied on two types of discritized simulation domain (Persian Gulf); with and without major islands. The hydrodynamic model utilized in this work is formed by equations of continuity and motion...

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 depth-averaged electrokinetic flow model for shallow microchannels

Electrokinetic flows with heterogeneous conductivity configuration occur widely in microfluidic applications such as sample stacking and multidimensional assays. Electromechanical coupling in these flows may lead to complex flow phenomena, such as sample dispersion due to electro-osmotic velocity mismatch, and electrokinetic instability (EKI). In this work we develop a generalized electrokineti...
