CFD modelling of compound meandering channels

Dr. Catherine Wilson
University of Bristol

Results from modelling compound meandering channels are given, computed with SSIIM and Telemac. Velocity pattern and water levels are compared with measurements. Studies of dispersion of a tracer in the channel are also presented.

CFD modelling of rivers with vegetation

Thorsten Stösser
University of Bristol/University of Karlsruhe

Methods for including vegetation effects in a CFD program are presented. The methods are tested against data from laboratory flumes. Results from computations in the river Rhine is also presented.

CFD modelling of supercritical flow in spillways

Dr. Susanne Krüger
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich

Supercritical flow in complex geometries form wave pattern. Results from 2D, 2 1/2D and 3D CFD models in computing these cases are presented together with experimental data.

CFD modelling in fluvial geomorphology

Dr. Nils Reidar B. Olsen
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Algorithms for sediment transport and bed changes are described. This includes sediment boundary conditions for the bed, suspended and bed load, bed forms and roughness. Algorithms for adaptive moveable grids are also described.
