The present paper focuses on the investigation of the turbulent characteristics of an open-channel flow by employing the micropolar model. The underlying model has already been proven to correctly describe the secondary phase of turbulent wall-bounded flows. The open-channel case comprises an ideal candidate to further test the micropolar model as many environmental flows carry a secondary phase, the behavior of which is of great interest for applications such as sedimentation transport and debris flow. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNSs) have been carried out on an open channel for R e b = 11,200 based on mean crossectional velocity, channel height, and the fluid kinematic viscosity. The simulated results are compared against previous experimental as well as Langrangian DNS data of similar flows, with excellent agreement. The micropolar model is capable of describing the same problem but in an Eulerian frame, thus significantly simplifying the computational cost and complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
