Özet

This study investigates the performance of commercially available three-Dimensional (3D) numerical software, FLOW-3D, on the prediction of the water surface profiles using a series of experimental data obtained in a two stage channel with skewed bridge crossing. The experiments were carried out for four different types of bridge models with two different skew angles of phi = 30 degrees and phi = 45 degrees. FLOW-3D, which solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier - Stokes equations, was applied to experimental data for the prediction of water surface profiles along the compound channel from upstream to downstream. The comparison of free surface profiles of 3D model showed good agreement with the experimental data. Notably, the measured and computed afflux values are found to be almost identical.
