Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier, Stokes (RANS) model of a meandering channel with rectangular cross-section has been developed using the commercial software package FLUENT 6.2. This model solves the 3D Navier-Stokes equations using the PISO scheme for the pressure-velocity coupling and the realizable k-epsilon model for turbulence closure. Output of the numerical model is compared to validation experiments conducted in a physical model, which represents two wavelengths of a regime channel and allows for the measurement of flow patterns at several discharges and variable bed forms. The computed water depths and velocity profiles of the CFD model output are in good agreement with the physical model results. The simulations slightly underpredict the streamwise velocities, which reach a maximum just before the apex of the meander bend, at the inner bank in the lower part of the flow depth. The CFD model also captures the motion of the secondary current or transverse flow well, showing the same direction of current along the entire second wavelength. |
