Abstract
Two-dimensional open channel flow past a rectangular disturbance in the channel bottom is considered in the case of supercritical flow, where the dimensionless flow rate is greater than unity. The response of the free surface to the height and length of a rectangular disturbance is investigated using the forced Korteweg–de Vries model of Michalski et al. (Theor Comput Fluid Dyn 38:511–530, 2024). A rich and complex structure of solutions is found as the length of the disturbance increases, especially in the case of a negative disturbance. As the length of the disturbance is decreased, some solutions approach those of the well-studied point forcing approximation, but there are other solutions, for a negative disturbance, that are not predicted by the point forcing model. The stability of steady solutions is then considered numerically with established pseudospectral methods.
期刊介绍：
Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics provides a forum for the cross fertilization of ideas, tools and techniques across all disciplines in which fluid flow plays a role. The focus is on aspects of fluid dynamics where theory and computation are used to provide insights and data upon which solid physical understanding is revealed. We seek research papers, invited review articles, brief communications, letters and comments addressing flow phenomena of relevance to aeronautical, geophysical, environmental, material, mechanical and life sciences. Papers of a purely algorithmic, experimental or engineering application nature, and papers without significant new physical insights, are outside the scope of this journal. For computational work, authors are responsible for ensuring that any artifacts of discretization and/or implementation are sufficiently controlled such that the numerical results unambiguously support the conclusions drawn. Where appropriate, and to the extent possible, such papers should either include or reference supporting documentation in the form of verification and validation studies.
