The present paper uses FLOW-3D software to simulate the three-dimensional flow and local scour around a non-submerged spur dike.The Navier-Stokes equations are solved with Finite Volume Method.
Dan or dyke collapse constitutes a major danger for the surrounding inhabitants and infrastructures.Indeed, it induces a fast transient flow that may entrain large amounts of sediments and modify the
Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) is used to investigate the changes in the horseshoe vortex system and the bed shear stress distribution forming around the base of spill-through bridge abutments located
An important three-dimensional feature of the turbulent flow fields in the flow over a rough surface is the formation of long streamwise-oriented streaks of high and low streamwise velocity, similar t
The tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on 11 March 2011 propagated inland and rivers, and caused catastrophic damage to people and buildings in the Tohoku and Kanto regions of Japan.
Impulse waves are generated by landslides, rockfalls or avalanches impacting a reservoir or natural lake.The long waves generated by the impulse transferred to the water body in combination with the u
The Malacca Strait is traditionally treated as a typical tidally-driven channel with other components of the circulation, such as the wind-driven one, negligible.
The coastal zone continuously changes due to natural processes and human interference.For understanding and predicting these morphological changes, an accurate description of sediment transport, cause
