AbstractIn this study, the flow turbulence and variations of the supercritical free surface flow in a circular channel along a side weir are simulated as three dimensional using the RNG k-ε turbulence model and volume of fluid (VOF) scheme. Comparison between the numerical model and experimental measurements shows that the numerical model simulates the free surface flow with good accuracy. According to the numerical model results, the specific energy variations along the side weir for the supercritical flow regime are almost constant and the energy drop is not significant but by increasing the side weir length the energy difference between the side weir upstream and downstream increases. Next, using the nonlinear regression (NLR) and analysis of the simulation results, some relationships for calculating the discharge coefficient of side weir on circular channels in supercritical flow regime are provided.

An advanced numerical model is presented for the simulation of wave-induced free-surface flow, utilizing an efficient hybrid parallel implementation. The model is based on the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations using large-eddy simulation of large-scale coastal free-surface flows. The three-dimensional immersed boundary method was used for the enforcement of the no-slip boundary condition on the bed surface. The water-air interface was tracked using the level-set method. The numerical model was effectively validated against laboratory measurements involving wave propagation over a flatbed with an elliptical shoal, whose presence induces combined wave refraction and diffraction phenomena. The parallel implementation of the model enabled the efficient simulation of depth-resolved, wave-induced, three-dimensional, free-surface flow; the model parallel efficiency and strong scaling are quantitatively demonstrated.
