The present paper presents a direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows in a compound open-channel. Mean flows and turbulence structures are provided, and they are compared with the numerical data and measured data available in the literature. The simulated results show that twin vortices are generated near the juncture of the main channel and the floodplain and their maximum magnitude is about 5% of bulk streamwise velocity. At the juncture, the simulated wall shear stress becomes the maximum unlike the experimental data. A quadrant analysis shows that both sweeps and ejections become the main contributor to production of Reynolds shear stresses. A conditional quadrant analysis reveals that the directional tendency of dominant coherent structures determines the production of Reynolds shear stress and the pattern of twin vortices.

본 연구에서는 개수로 흐름에서 전단속도의 분포를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 직사각형 개수로 흐름과 복단면 개수로 흐름에 대한 DNS 자료를 이용하였으며, 계산된 전단속도는 기존의 실험자료 및 수치해석결과와 비교$\cdot$분석되었다. 평균흐름장에서는 직사각형 개수로 흐름의 경우, 자유수면 부근에서 내측이차흐름이 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 복단면 개수로 흐름에서는 주수로와 홍수터의 접합부 부근에서 쌍와가 생성되는 것으로 나타났다. 이차흐름의 최대크기는 체적평균된 주흐름방향 유속의 약 $5\%$로서, 직사각형 개수로 흐름에서 발생되는 것보다 더 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 이차흐름의 영향으로 주흐름방향 평균유속의 등속선이 편향된 것으로 나타났다. 본 DNS에서 전단속도가 최대값을 갖는 지점은 직사각형 개수로 흐름의 경우 자유수면이며, 복단면 개수로 흐름의 경우 접합부인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기존 LES 결과와 동일하지만, 실험연구와는 다른 결과이다. 접합부에서 이러한 차이를 보이는 이유는 실험에서 마찰속도를 산정하기 위해 사용하는 방법의 부적합성에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A numerical model is applied to analyze the mixing characteristics of an axisymmetric turbulent buoyant jet discharged into flowing stratified ambients. The numerical model is a Gaussian-vortex model which incorporates the effects of the vortex pair known as the representative characteristics of far-field in flowing ambients. Six ocean outfalls that have field data for the initial dilution at the water surface are selected for testing the applicability of the developed numerical model. The comparisons of the observed initial dilutions and the simulated ones show that the developed numerical model could be used for the analyses of the initial mixings induced by the sewage diffuser discharged into the ocean.

This study presents a numerical modeling of mean flow and turbulence structures of partly-vegetated open-channel flows. For this, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with vegetation drag terms are solved numerically using the non-linear k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical model is applied to laboratory experiments of Nezu and Onitsuka (2001), and simulated results are compared with data from measurement and computations by Kang and Choi's (2006) Reynolds stress model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed numerical model simulates the mean flow well. Twin vortices are found to be generated at the interface between vegetated and non-vegetated zones, where turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress show their maximums. The model simulates the pattern of the Reynolds stress well but under-predicts the intensity of Reynolds stress slightly.
