2D supercritical free-surface flow : an experimental study

Abstract

Paper presented at the 7th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Turkey, 19-21 July, 2010.

The numerical two-dimensional free-surface steady flow of an incompressible inviscid fluid, over an obstacle lying on the bottom of a channel, is examined The Finite Volume Method is used for a supercritical regime. The results obtained from the numerical method are confronted with those of experiments carried out in a hydraulic channel for various obstacles.
