Abstract
Advances in computer technology have facilitated the use of large-eddy simulation (LES) as a numerical simulation method in fluid mechanics. In this study, LES was used for the numerical simulation of curved water flow with a large curvature. The simulation results show that water separation occurs near the convex bank of the bend transverse section while the separation area increases and then decreases along the water depth direction, where the peak is at half-depth. As the water surface is affected by air shear stress, the velocity decreases. However, as the gradient increases, the vorticity is larger and the vorticity distribution is more even. Reflux occurs in the inlet and outlet sections of the bend but does not occur on the surfaces of z/H = 0.5 and z/H = 0.2, where the vorticity distribution is uneven. In the narrow corridor of the concave and convex banks, notably near the curved top, vorticity distribution is concentrated with a high intensity. At the center of the curve, the vorticity intensity is weak but 10 times higher at the concave and convex banks. A strong correlation exists between circulation structure and vorticity distribution: the vorticity is large where the circulation is intense and the structure is complex.
