OpenFOAM - Hyporheic flow modeling
Student who has worked on this topic: Bing Li
Hyporheic flow is the flow of water in the zone between the riverbed and the overlying water column. It is important for the transport of nutrients and contaminants in the river.
The hyporheic flow model is implemented in the hyporheicFoam solver.
Schematic of the hyporheic flow models: (a) sequential model, (b) coupled model
Example simulation: hyporheic flow in a channel with bedforms
