Popis: Finite-sized inertial spherical particles are fully-resolved with the immersed boundary projection method (IBPM) in the turbulent open-channel flow by direct numerical simulation (DNS). The accuracy of the particle surface force models is investigated in comparison with the total force obtained via the fully-resolved method. The results show that the steady-state resistance only performs well in the streamwise direction, while the fluid acceleration force, the added-mass force, and the shear-induced Saffman lift can effectively compensate for the large-amplitude and high-frequency characteristics of the particle surface forces, especially for the wall-normal and spanwise components. The modified steady-state resistance with the correction effects of the acceleration and the fluid shear can better represent the overall forces imposed on the particles, and it is a preferable choice of the surface force model in the Lagrangian point-particle method.
