Abstract:Numerical solvers of the two-dimensional (2D) shallow water equations (2D-SWE) can be an efficient option to predict spatial distribution of velocity fields in quasi-steady flows past or throughout hydraulic engineering structures. A second-order finite volume solver (FV2) spuriously elongates small-scale recirculating eddies within its predictions, unless sustained by an artificial eddy viscosity, while a third-order finite volume (FV3) solver can distort the eddies within its predictions. The extra complexit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
