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 |
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is used to investigate the 3D-transport of sediment suspension in an open channel flow at a Reynolds number based on the frictional velocity. An Eulerian model was employed to represent the fluid and the sediment phases. The subgrid-scale fluid stresses were modeled with the Smagorinsky model, whereas subgrid-scale sediment fluxes were based on a gradient approach. To avoid tuning constants, a dynamic procedure was applied. A two-way coupling between sediment and fluid improved the computational description of sediment transport. Sediment concentration profiles and the statistics of sediment fluxes are presented and compared with the Rouse profile and the RANS solution. The results obtained agree well with the theory and with measurements. The LES results also indicate that the assumption of a constant Schmidt number, as is mostly assumed in RANS simulations is erroneous. |
