Setup

The spatial domain consists of a rectangular

where is the bed elevation and is the horizontal distance.

Table 1. General Settings for Flow over a Bump

Parameter Value
Discharge 0.18 m^3/s
Downstream water level 0.33 m
Bottom friction None

Model Setup

The computational domain is 25 m long and has a constant grid resolution of 0.1 m. A flux boundary condition is specified at the inflow boundary and a constant water level boundary condition is applied to the downstream boundary. An adaptive time between 0.1-10 seconds is applied.

Results

A comparison between the analytical solution for water levels is compared to the calculated water levels in Figure 2. As shown in the goodness of fit statistics, the model results agree well with the analytical solution.
