River computations: artificial backwater from the momentum advection scheme

F.W. Platzek, G.S. Stelling, J.A. Jankowski, R. Patzwahl and J.D. Pietrzak

Abstract: The established method for determining dike heights and dimensioning river training structures is to assess the resulting backwater by numerical modelling. The common consensus is that bottom friction determines the backwater and that momentum advection only has a local effect. We demonstrate that the numerical/artificial backwater contribution from the momentum advection approximation can be of the same order of magnitude as the bottom friction contribution, depending on the advection scheme.

Ein effizienter semi-impliziter Subgrid-Ansatz für Strömungen mit freier Oberfläche auf hierarchischen Gittern

F.W. Platzek, G.S. Stelling, J.A. Jankowski, R. Patzwahl and J.D. Pietrzak

German Abstract: Es wird eine neue Modellierstrategie zur Effizienzsteigerung rechenintensiver Simulationen von Flüssen vorgestellt. Der Ansatz kombiniert einen semi-impliziten Subgrid-Ansatz zur Berücksichtigung von hochaufgelösten Geländeinformationen auf gröberen Netzen mit einer auf Hierarchischen-Netzen basierenden Strategie.

Jankowski. Continue reading →

An efficient semi-implicit subgrid method for free-surface flows on hierarchical grids

F.W. Platzek, G.S. Stelling, J.A. Jankowski, R. Patzwahl and J.D. Pietrzak

Abstract: We present a new modelling strategy for improving the efficiency of computationally intensive flow problems in environmental free-surface flows. The approach combines a recently developed semi-implicit subgrid method with a hierarchical grid solution strategy. Continue reading →
