Fluid-Structure Interaction between Broad Crested and Hydrodynamics Effects under Sand bed sediments

Resumo

The present study intends to report the initial findings results in the hydrodynamic and sediment
transport modeling with a study case of a broad crested weir considering a sediment bed made of sands. The
adopted numerical model is the REEF3D, a Computational Fluid Dynamics tool, which is able to do sediment
transport simulations, according to Bihs and Olsen [1]. The main objective is to examine the hydrodynamics effects
of the flow around the structure in a movable sediment bed.
