Overview
REEF3D::SFLOW is a non-hydrostatic shallow water equations (SWE) model. This means that all flow quantities are depth-averaged, resulting in a two-dimensional solver. The model can be use for wave propagation and open channel flow. Sediment transport is incorporated through bedload based transport mode. The unique characteristics of REEF3D::SLOW are:
- High-order discretization in space (5th-order WENO)
- High-order discretization in time (3rd-order TVD Runge-Kutta)
- Full Parallelization with domain decomposition and MPI, delivering very good scalability
- Quadratic dynamic pressure assumption, leading to correct phase velocities for shallow and intermediate wave conditions
- Geometric multigrid preconditioned CG-solver (hyper) for efficient solution of the dynamic pressure equation
- Varying bathymetry with geometry input form DIVEMesh
Applications
Coastal Wave Propagation: Mehamn Habor
Coastal Modeling: Breaking Waves over a reef
Open Channel Flow: Nidelva River at Stavne Reach in Trondheim
Sediment Transport: Erosion in a Meandering Channel
Sediment Transport: Local Scour around an Arch Bridge
