Numerical simulation of free surface and flow field turbulence in a circular channel with the side weir in subcritical flow. (English) Zbl 1401.76044
Summary: When flow surface is higher than of a side weir crest, the overflow spilt over the crest and divert into a side channel. These structures are extensively used in urban sewage disposal networks, water supply systems, and drainage and flood diversion networks. This study simulates stream free surface, discharge over a sharp-crest side weir, and discharge coefficient of a side weir in a circular channel using FLOW-3D software. Numerical model results were compared with the experimental ones and the comparison proved an acceptable consistency between the numerical and experimental results. RNG k-{\(\epsilon\)} turbulence model was used for simulating flow turbulence. The volume of fluid (VOF) method was used in this CFD analysis for predicting changes of flow free surface. Then, the numerical simulation results were examined for discharge coefficient of the side weir and flow free surface for different discharge passing through the main channel. The changes of dividing stream surface from main channel bed toward stream free surface were examined. The concluding section assessed the effect of shape of a circular channel on the pattern and intensity of a secondary flow in the main channel and the impacts of the discharge passing through the circular channel on height of stagnation point and shear stress pattern in the main channel bed.
