Turbulence modelling of wall-bounded flows near a cylinder-bed junction due to waves and currents
<image>
Experiments have been
performed at the Eastern Scheldt Flume in the Hydro Hall of Deltares that
focused on visualizing the upstream velocity field of a cylinder-bed junction
by using PIV measurements. The goal here was to gain insight in flow patterns
and corresponding local stresses that contribute to the failure mechanism of scour
protection layers. The objective of this graduation project is to simulate
several configurations that were tested for using the open-source CFD
software OpenFOAM in combination with the Waves2Foam toolbox. The experimental
results will be used to validate the numerical findings.
