Abstract

A two-dimensional subcritical and/or supercritical, viscous, free-surface flow calculation method is employed. A very important feature of the method is its simplicity and the physical understanding obtained from the solution procedure. The grid used may be irregular and conforms to the physical boundaries of the problem. A multi-grid algorithm has been developed to accelerate the convergence solution. The viscous flow stresses are described using either fixed value eddy viscosity coefficient or values related to the flow properties. Applications regarding subcr
