Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as SedFoam Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 3D Spatial extent Patch-Scale, Grain-Scale Model domain Hydrology, Terrestrial One-line model description A four-way coupled two-phase Eulerian model for sediment transport Extended model description A multi-dimensional numerical model for sediment transport based on the two-phase flow formulation is developed. With closures of particle stresses and fluid-particle interaction, the model is able to resolve processes in the concentrated region of sediment transport and hence does not require conventional bedload/suspended load assumptions. The numerical model is developed in three spatial dimensions. However, in this version, the model is only validated for Reynolds-averaged two-dimensional vertical (2DV) formulation (with the k − epsilon closure for carrier flow turbulence) for sheet flow in steady and oscillatory flows. This numerical model is developed via the open-source CFD library of solvers, OpenFOAM and the new solver is called twoPhaseEulerSedFoam.

No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model Sediment transport under steady channel flow, oscillatory flow (sinusoidal and Stokes 2nd order waves) Describe key physical parameters and equations please see more details in the user manual Describe length scale and resolution constraints domain needs to be large enough to capture the boundary layer, and the resolution ( on the order of grain size) should be fine enough to capture the sediment-fluid interaction near the bed level. Describe time scale and resolution constraints The flow should be run to be fully developed, and this time scale depends on the time scale of sediment settling time, and flow periods. the time step should be fine enough not to cause numerical instability, and also capture the varying the flow forcing. Describe any numerical limitations and issues This model is only tested in rectangle domains, and compared the results with idealized experiments; Sediment bed state is affected by the initial condition (mainly due to the frictional stess closure in this model). For 2D or 3D runs, it is suggested that first run 1DV to steady or quasi-steady state, and map the 1DV results to 2DV or 3D, in this way, the initial instability of the sediment bed can be avoided.
