Numerical experiments of breaking waves on dissipative and intermediate beaches using a two-phase flow method

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

A fully coupled two-phase flow model was developed to simulate nearshore fluid-sediment turbulent flow. It includes the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and turbu¬lent stress closures for each phase, and accounts for inter-granular stresses. It wa ...

Competition between kinematic and dynamic waves in floods on steep slopes

We present a theoretical stability analysis of the flow after the sudden release of a fixed mass of fluid on an inclined plane formally restricted to relatively long time scales, for which the kinematic regime is valid. Shallow-water equations for steep sl ...

Effects of wave forcing on a subterranean estuary

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

Wave and tide are important forcing factors that typically co-exist in coastal environments. A numerical study was conducted to investigate individual and combined effects of these forces on flow and mixing processes in a near-shore subterranean estuary. A ...

Unsteady flow in a channel with large scale bank roughness

Anton Schleiss, Tobias Meile

Systematic investigations on positive and negative surge waves from upstream have been conducted in a 40 m long channel with a mean bed slope of 1.14? and non-prismatic bank geometries. The channel banks included macro-roughness elements, namely various ca ...

Two-phase hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling of wave-generated sheet flow

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

This numerical investigation was carried out to advance mechanistic understanding of sediment transport under sheet flow conditions. An Euler-Euler coupled two-phase flow model was developed to simulate fluid-sediment oscillatory sheet flow. Since the conc ...

2D numerical flow modeling in a macro-rough channel

Anton Schleiss, Tobias Meile, Michel Pirotton

A 2D numerical flow model, developed at the Research unit of Hydrology, Applied Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Constructions at ULg, has been applied to flows in a macro-rough channel. The model solves the shallow water equations (SWE) with a two length scale ...

Study and Numerical Simulation of Sediment Transport in Free-Surface Flow

The flow after the rupture of a dam on an inclined plane of arbitrary slope, and the induced transport of non-cohesive sediment, is analysed using the shallow-water approximation. An asymptotic (analytical) solution is presented for the flow hydrodynamics, ...

Roll waves in floods on inclines

The unstable nature of kinematic waves, resulting from outburst floods on steep inclines, is investigated theoretically using the shallow water equations. A numerical experiment is designed in order to efficiently perform a stability analysis. By analysing ...

Numerical simulation of wave breaking and wave runup in the nearshore zone

Roham Bakhtyar

When the wave approaches to coast, the wave steepness, which is the ratio of wave height to water depth increases due to depth re-duction. This increase continues to a certain extent, until finally at this limit, the wave breaks. Wave breaking results in t ...

Existence and features of similarity solutions for non-Boussinesq gravity currents

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard, Martin Rentschler, Sébastien Wiederseiner

In this paper, the flow dynamics of gravity currents on a horizontal plane is investigated from a theoretical point of view by seeking similarity solutions. The current is generated by unleashing a varying volume of heavy fluid within an ambient fluid of m ...
