Abstract:CFD modelling has been used to investigate the secondary flow phenomenon and its effect on grit particles carried in curved open channel flow. A CFD model was calibrated against a case study and then validated against data from a physical model with a 30°bend. The flow was calculated by solving the full Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and Reynolds Stress turbulence models with a finite-volume method; the air-water interaction at the free surface was simulated using a Volume of Fluid multi-phase model… Show more
