To quickly and accurately simulate the transport and diffusion process of high-intensity pollutants during sudden environmental water pollution events, in this study, a high-precision pollution transport and diffusion model for unstructured grids based on Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is proposed. The finite volume method of a total variation diminishing limiter with the Kong proposed r-factor is used to reduce numerical diffusion and oscillation errors in the simulation of pollutants under sharp concentration conditions, and graphics processing unit acceleration technology is used to improve computational efficiency. The advection diffusion process of the model is verified numerically using two benchmark cases, and the efficiency of the model is evaluated using an engineering example. The results demonstrate that the model perform well in the simulation of material transport in the presence of sharp concentration. Additionally, it has high computational efficiency. The acceleration ratio is 46 times the single-thread acceleration effect of the original model. The efficiency of the accelerated model meet the requirements of an engineering application, and the rapid early warning and assessment of water pollution accidents is achieved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"36 1","pages":"202 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140634895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been found that the dip parameter varied between 0.6<i>H</i> and 0.9<i>H</i> depending on various factors including bed roughness, vegetation distribution, and pool entrance/exit slopes. However, scattered vegetation in the pool and differences in slopes created non-uniform flow conditions. Also, in the wake region behind each vegetated element, flow velocity reduced significantly, and small-scale eddies are formed, causing increased perturbations. By decreasing the entrance slope and bed roughness, relatively uniform flow and weaker turbulence was resulted, but the random distribution of vegetated elements counteracted this balance and intensified turbulence. With the decrease in the pool entrance slope, the contribution of sweep event decreased and the contribution of ejection event increased.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"36 1","pages":"158 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140580709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vertical slit fishway is a broadly used fishway type because of its high efficiency and adaptability to water levels. However, the resulting vortex current disrupts the fish passage hence directly affecting fish migration. This study aims to accurately capture the vortex structure in the fishway and analyze the effect of vortex elements (vortex structure, vortex intensity, etc.) on fish. We conducted an analysis of the 3-D current flow field in the fishway through the utilization of an experimental model and the large eddy simulation (LES) method. Moreover, we captured the vortex information in the fishway at different flow rates using the Liutex vortex identification method and investigated the effect of the vortex on fish migration. The results revealed that the structures inside the fishway pool occupy most of the room, however, the areas with higher vortex strength were primarily located in the vortex near the vertical seam and the mainstream, the vortex strength inside the fishway gradually increases with increasing flow, suppressing fish migration. Fish experienced significantly increased resistance when encountering strong vortices. This suggests that the vortex may act as a physical barrier to fish migration. These findings highlight the potential negative effects of vortex on fish movement and reiterate the importance of understanding vortex dynamics for aquatic environmental management. As an effective tool for identifying vortices in fluid flow, the Liutex method demonstrates features of vortex within the fishway, thereby providing important insights into the interaction between fluid dynamics and aquatic organisms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"36 1","pages":"130 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140580791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for the cases of the deep configuration (<i>h</i>₂ / <i>λ</i> <b>≪</b> 1, <i>h</i>₁ / <i>λ = O</i>(1)), higher-order polynomial is needed to approximate the variation of the velocity components along the vertical direction for the lower-fluid layer.

This paper, for the first time, derives a general form of the HLGN model for a two-layer fluid system, where the general form of the shape function is used during the derivation. After obtaining the general form of the two-layer HLGN equations, corresponding solutions can be obtained by determining the reasonable shape function. Large-amplitude internal solitary waves in a deep configuration are studied by use of two different HLGN models. Comparison of the two HLGN models shows that the polynomial as the shape function for the upper-fluid layer and the production of exponential and polynomial as the shape function for the lower-fluid layer is a good choice. By comparing with Euler’s solutions and the laboratory measurements, the accuracy of the two-layer HLGN model is verified.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"36 1","pages":"78 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140581166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation outcomes of the system performance are basically consistent with the measurement data of the prototype.

Moreover, the internal flow of the runner is greatly affected by the closure of the guide vane, and the draft tube forms an eccentric spiral vortex rope. It breaks downstream, aggravating the instability of the draft tube.

A two-way coupling approach is adopted to explore the mutual interaction between particles and fluid flow. The considered cases include flow with particle Stokes number varying from <i>St</i> = 2 up to <i>St</i> = 100 while maintaining a constant Reynolds number of <i>Re</i>_<i>τ</i> = 180 across all cases. A novel vortex identification method, Liutex (Rortex), is employed to assess its efficacy in capturing near-wall turbulent coherent structures and their interactions with particles. The Liutex method provides valuable information on vortex strength and vectors at each location, enabling a detailed examination of the complex interaction between fluid and particulate phases. As widely acknowledged, the interplay between clockwise and counterclockwise vortices in the near-wall region gives rise to low-speed streaks along the wall. These low-speed streaks serve as preferential zones for particle concentration, depending upon the particle Stokes number. It is shown that the Liutex method can capture these vortices and identify the location of low-speed streaks. Additionally, it is observed that the particle Stokes number (size) significantly affects both the strength of these vortices and the streaky structure exhibited by particles. Furthermore, a quantitative analysis of particle behavior in the near-wall region and the formation of elongated particle lines was carried out. This involved examining the average fluid streamwise velocity fluctuations at particle locations, average particle concentration, and the normal velocity of particles for each set of particle Stokes numbers.

Then, by MD and multibody dissipative particle dynamics (MDPD) method, the slippage behavior at the GLI was studied under the influence of the microstructure size and the flow driving velocity. We proposed a new kind of hybrid slip boundary condition model to describe the slippage characteristic on GLI.
