Hi All,
I hope that this Thread will still stay alive. I am focusing on sediment transport scour processes around offshore structures, and have just decided upon OpenFOAM as a modeling tool. I am also interested in the CSDMS high performance computer cluster (HPCC) resource. http://csdms.colorado.edu/ Dr. Mark Schmeeckle has shared some great results with a version of openFOAM. Hoping to recreate some of them myself! http://www.public.asu.edu/~mschmeec/ |

I want to study local scour of bridge piers with openfoam to get my PHD degree. I saw some papers study this topic with interDyMFoam solver, such as Xiaofeng Liu. I have already add the bed shear stress into the interDyMFoam solver, but have some problem in how control the mesh motion. and what's the mean of The "Urel" in the interDyMFoam solver. |

hello every body
im new to openfoam im studing to simulate "lagrangian sediment transport (bed load) in openfoam" i have obtained the closest solvers as: solidParticleFoam settlengFoam and icolagrangianFoam but these simulate whether individula particles (not a mass of particles) or suspended particles (not bed load) or injected particles! does any one know any open code to help me simulating such a complex problem!!! i really need help because after that i have to change the implemented lagrangian method to SPH!!!! |
waves on pororelastic bed induce sediment transport
Just trying to revive the bedload/sediment transport thread:
Quite a bunch of research (Mei & Foda, 1981, Foda, 2003) has identified poroelastic effects like the generation of excess pore pressure, vertical and lateral displacement following water level variations as triggering force in the process of bedload transport. Tian Tang has provided a poroelastic solver https://bitbucket.org/tiantang/minigeotechfoam/src which is able to reproduce those poroelastic effects. Interestingly, Tian Tang's approach considers gas bubbles occlusions in the bed matrix (via the fluid compressibility) which dramatically enhance the poroelastic response to wave pressure fluctuations. I wonder weather somebody has yet started the OF solver coupling of a poroelastic, a flow and a sediment transport modules. Any hints appreciated! |
dear friend I,d like to simulate this and I,m freshman in OpenFOAM so how can I start????Where should start from?

Wall shear stress
Hello everyone,
Can anybody clarify if the wall shear stress obtained by the wallShearStress function in OpenFoam can be used to evaluate sediment mobility by comparing against the critical shear stress calculated using the Shields parameter? I'm only interested in simulating the flow over some seabed geometry to determine whether seabed scour is possible. No dynamic meshes or anything like that. I am not sure what's the difference between the bed shear stress calculated in sediment-dynamics i.e. Tb=rho*Cd*U2, where Cd is the drag coeff. and U is the depth averaged flow velocity and the wall shear stress derived from the turbulence model in OpenFOAM. Are they comparable? I would appreciate any suggestions/help. |
