Numerical Modeling of Flow Around Groynes with Different Shapes Using TELEMAC-3D Software
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: This paper provides numerical simulation of flow around a Groyne and models the ratio of the reattachment length, water depth and velocity on the surface of the channel and the shear stress on the bottom of the channel between the different types of Groynes in the same hydraulic condition for all models. Moreover, a comparison between the results have been done and the most efficient type of Groynes which have more influence on the hydraulic parameters is chosen. The open source TELEMAC-3D software is used for this numerical modeling and k-e model was selected for turbulence modeling of the flow simulation. For validation test, our results are compared against three-dimensional computational flow model around a Groyne by Ouillon and Dartus [10] and experimental result of Holtz [5]. This paper provides a good modeling tools to choose the optimum shape and size for Groynes in rivers for bank protection and river stream training.
