Abstract

We review recent progress toward the development of a computational framework for simulating turbulence and sediment transport processes in real-life waterways with embedded hydraulic structures. The approach is based on the Curvilinear Immersed Boundary (CURVIB) method, which is extended to carry out LES and URANS and simulate free-surface effects and stream-bed morphodynamics in complex open channels. The predictive capabilities of the method are demonstrated by presenting results from the simulation of turbulence in a natural meander bend and in a straight flume with embedded rock structures.
