Summary

境界領域（下側） Model geometry

The dam-break problem (collapse of the water column) is calculated for 1 second using a turbulence model. The ceiling of the analysis domain (region "atmosphere") is assumed to be open, and the left wall, right wall and floor are assumed to be under no-slip conditions. The calculation is performed as a two-dimensional problem with a single mesh in the Z direction.

The direction of gravity acceleration is defined in the file "constant/g" as follows.

dimensions      [0 1 -2 0 0 0 0];
value           (0 -9.81 0);

We specify the standard k-ε model as the turbulence model in the file "constant/turbulenceProperties" as follows.

simulationType  RAS;
RAS
{
    RASModel        kEpsilon;
    turbulence      on;
    printCoeffs     on;
}

The meshes are as follows, and the number of mesh is 2268.
