Investigation of the capability of a Numerical model to simulate a Mining Pit in River Bed
Journal Title: Journal of River Engineering - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Rivers are the most essential source of aggregates for civil works such as construction of roads, canals, concrete buildings and many other construction purposes. However, the improper mining of sand and gravel from bed rivers may cause significant damage to them in terms of mass bank failure, channel bed erosion. In this research, because of the widespread use of numerical models in different types of hydraulic problems, the variation of the packed bed river profile due to digging a trapezoidal pit in the bed river is analyzed by a leading numerical model. the simulation data is compared with the measured value and the result is discussed and the reason why the numerical model was almost unsuccessful to simulate this phenomenon is discussed. The objective of this research is to investigate limitation of a particular CFD model by comparison of its results with the experimental data. finally other related numerical models is introduced and.
