Popis: In this paper the numerical simulation of scour by a free falling jet is presented. It is assumed that the flow is two-dimensional, the alluvium is cohesionless, and that at the beginning of a run, i.e. at t = 0, the movable bed is flat. The scour simulation involves three basic steps: simulation of a turbulent flow in the stilling basin of a free falling jet, determination of distribution of sand concentration, and computation of bed deformation. The flow simulation rests on the momentum equations, the continuity equation, and on the k-∊ equations for turbulent flows. A general 2-D non-orthogonal curvilinear computational domain is used; the solution is by the finite volume method, with a non-staggered grid arrangement. The SIMPLE scheme is used for pressure correction and the checkerboard problem is solved with a momentum interpolation scheme. The distribution of sand concentration is determined on the basis of the convection-diffusion equation. An appropriate boundary condition for concentration at the...
