SedFoam1

SedFoam 1.0: A multi-dimensional numerical model for sediment transport based on the two-phase flow formulation is developed. With closures of particle stresses and fluid-particle interaction, the model is able to resolve processes in the concentrated region of sediment transport and hence does not require conventional bedload/suspended load assumptions. The numerical model is developed in three spatial dimensions. However, in the existing versions, the model is only validated for Reynolds-averaged two-dimensional vertical (2DV) formulation. This numerical model is developed via the open-source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM and the new solver is called SedFoam. We gratefully acknowledge developers involved in OpenFOAM, which is the foundation of SedFoam.
