Treffer: Numerical modeling of scour and erosion processes around spur dike.

Spur dikes are popular river training structures used for flow diversion, flood control, bank protection, and improving navigation. This paper aims to study the numerical modeling of scour depth in the vicinity of a rectangular spur dike using the renormalization group (RNG) turbulence model and sedimentary van Rijn model with nested mesh configuration using FLOW‐3D. This study is also carried out to analyze the three turbulence models such as RNG, 푘−휀, and Large‐Eddy simulation (LES), for estimating the scour depth and evaluating the temporal variation of maximum scour depth. It is observed that scour depth is overpredicted with the LES model configuration used in the present study, as compared to 푘−휀 and RNG models. Furthermore, the scour depth increases by increasing the bed load coefficient near to the spur dike. Simulated results show a good agreement within a 5% error with experimental results regarding the net change of sediment elevation and scour depth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
