Modeling a 3D open channel flow, what the best solver is?

Hi everyone!
Would anyone please tell me for modeling a 3D open channel flow, what the best solver is?
Note that in an open channel the surface has a 2 phase condition and the fluid is incompressible.

InterFoam seems to be the best solver for 3D open channel flows to consider turbulent effects, as well as free surface effects..

Thanks a lot for your useful reply. would you please tell me how I can enter the effect of friction factor on walls in this software? thanks again and again.
