| Abstract |
Different types of numerical models are used nowadays in the hydraulic design of navigation locks. At the upper end in terms of physical complexity and computational effort, are the three-dimensional models based on the Navier-Stokes equations, usually referred to as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models. Here, a short overview is given of the main features, progress and challenges of CFD modelling for (lock) design purposes. |
