Simulation of a Free Surface Flow over a Vertical Weir

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper the numerical simulation of a free surface flow over a vertical weir with in turns of a scour pool and a small hump weir is presented. Since in this case few of calculative examples adds scour pool and small hump weir in the model, it is meaningful to compute this example using a numerical software which is named Fluent 6.3. The numerical method used consists of Navier–Stokes turbulence solver and k-ε model together with a VOF method and PISO algorithm in pave meshes. Thus, the sketches of flow fields on each typical time point and velocity distributions on each section on 16s are provided to describe flow field accurately. A very good quantitative consequence which accords with hydraulics theoretical analysis has been obtained.
