Abstract

A numerical model was developed to simulate the flow and sediment motion in connection with plunging breakers in the surf zone. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in two spatial dimensions were employed to simulate the flow field together with a k-ε model for the turbulence and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method for multiple free-surface tracking. An advection-diffusion equation was used for the suspended sediment concentration with a bottom boundary condition following the reference concentration formulation. The Meyer Peter Muller (MPM) formula was used to estimate bed-load transport and Weighted Essentially Non Oscillatory (WENO) scheme was used to calculate the seabed evolution. Incorporating bed-load, suspended load and seabed evolution formulation in the present model, the performance of the new model were examined through the comparison with experimental data. Good agreement between the model and experimental data was obtained for the surface elevation and velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, eddy viscosity, bottom shear stresses, suspended sediment concentration as well as seabed evolution.
