Notes:
Systematic tests have been performed to study the behaviour of a numerical method developed to calculate 2D, steady free surface flows. The Reynolds equations are solved in the physical space by employing a non-orthogonal staggered grid, while the k-ε model is adopted to approximate the Reynolds stresses. The free surface is calculated following an iterative procedure and various parameters that affect convergence and accuracy of the numerical solution have been examined. Calculated results are compared with measured data for two cases, i.e. the wave generation above a bottom topography at various Froude numbers and the free surface formation above a submerged hydrofoil. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
