__NOTOC__
==Experiment Setup==
The laboratory flume experiment of Rajaratnam and Nwachukwu (1983) consists of a rectangular 37 x 0.92 m flume with open-channel flow and a thin plate of length 0.1524 m used to simulate a groin-like structure. Here the numerical model is compared to experiment A1 of Rajaratnam and Nwachukwu (1983). For this case, the flow depth and discharge were 0.189 m and 0.0453 m<sup>3</sup>/sec, respectively.
==Model Setup==
The computational grid size is 152 x 36 and has a variable grid resolution of 0.01 to 0.05 m (Figure 1). The mesh was refined manually near the structure, near the walls within the recirculation zone behind the structure. A constant flux was specified at the inflow boundary and a zero water level at the outflow boundary.

Experiment Setup

The laboratory flume experiment of Rajaratnam and Nwachukwu (1983) consists of a rectangular 37 x 0.92 m flume with open-channel flow and a thin plate of length 0.1524 m used to simulate a groin-like structure. Here the numerical model is compared to experiment A1 of Rajaratnam and Nwachukwu (1983). For this case, the flow depth and discharge were 0.189 m and 0.0453 m3/sec, respectively.

Model Setup

The computational grid size is 152 x 36 and has a variable grid resolution of 0.01 to 0.05 m (Figure 1). The mesh was refined manually near the structure, near the walls within the recirculation zone behind the structure. A constant flux was specified at the inflow boundary and a zero water level at the outflow boundary.

Results

Flow velocities were measured down stream of the flow structure along 4 transects in the transverse direction and at two arbitrary levels or heights y/y0=0.03 and y/y0=0.85. The velocities from y/y0=0.85 are compared to the calculated depth-averaged velocities and are shown in Figure 2.
