| Abstract: | The paper investigates the role of porosity of a permeable wall and the interaction between the
interstitial and the outer flow. This situation is, among others, relevant for sediment transport and
bed friction in natural channels. The study employs detailed large eddy simulations of a prototype
situation, where the wall consists of two layers of spheres with the same diameter and their centers
being arranged on a cubic lattice. The domain covers a total of 432 spheres. The recorded time- and
space-resolved data are averaged and compared to recent measurements at the University of
Aberdeen finding good agreement. The high porosity of the bed induces considerable momentum
exchange between the outer flow and within the spheres. This generates additional shear stresses and
hence leads to velocity and turbulence intensity distributions differing considerably from those over
solid beds. Coherent flow structures, like sweeps and ejections are shown to occur and are suggested
to be the driving mechanism of momentum exchange. Below the roughness interface, flow
velocities, turbulence intensities and pressure fluctuations are damped exponentially which is also in
line with experimental data. |
| Description: | Paper presented at The Seventh International Conference on HydroScience and Engineering (ICHE) hosted by the College of Engineering at Drexel Univeristy on September 10-13, 2006 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The conference theme was IT in the Field of HydroSciences. It included several mini-symposia that emphasized IT topics in HydroSciences and the yearly meeting of the metadata group of the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange organization. |
