  1. Distributed Flow Routing Reading: Sections 9.1 – 9.4, 10.1-10.2

  2. Distributed Flow routing in channels • Distributed Routing • St. Venant equations • Continuity equation • Momentum Equation What are all these terms, and where are they coming from?

  3. Assumptions for St. Venant Equations • Flow is one-dimensional • Hydrostatic pressure prevails and vertical accelerations are negligible • Streamline curvature is small. • Bottom slope of the channel is small. • Manning’s equation is used to describe resistance effects • The fluid is incompressible

  4. Continuity Equation Q = inflow to the control volume q = lateral inflow Rate of change of flow with distance Outflow from the C.V. Change in mass Elevation View Reynolds transport theorem Plan View

  5. Continuity Equation (2) Conservation form Non-conservation form (velocity is dependent variable)

  6. Momentum Equation • From Newton’s 2nd Law: • Net force = time rate of change of momentum Sum of forces on the C.V. Momentum stored within the C.V Momentum flow across the C. S.

  7. Forces acting on the C.V. • Fg = Gravity force due to weight of water in the C.V. • Ff = friction force due to shear stress along the bottom and sides of the C.V. • Fe = contraction/expansion force due to abrupt changes in the channel cross-section • Fw = wind shear force due to frictional resistance of wind at the water surface • Fp = unbalanced pressure forces due to hydrostatic forces on the left and right hand side of the C.V. and pressure force exerted by banks Elevation View Plan View

  8. Momentum Equation Sum of forces on the C.V. Momentum stored within the C.V Momentum flow across the C. S.

  9. Momentum Equation(2) Local acceleration term Convective acceleration term Pressure force term Gravity force term Friction force term Kinematic Wave Diffusion Wave Dynamic Wave

  10. Momentum Equation (3) Steady, uniform flow Steady, non-uniform flow Unsteady, non-uniform flow

  11. Dynamic Wave Routing Flow in natural channels is unsteady, non-uniform with junctions, tributaries, variable cross-sections, variable resistances, variable depths, etc etc.

  12. Obtaining river cross-sections Traditional methods Depth sounder and GPS Cross-sections are also extracted from a contour map, DEM, and TIN

  13. Triangulated Irregular Network Edge Node Face

  14. 3D Structure of a TIN

  15. Real TIN in 3D!

  16. TIN for UT campus

  17. TIN as a source of cross-sections

  18. CrossSections

  19. Direction of Flow Channel Cross-Section Channel and Cross-Section

  20. HEC GeoRAS • A set of ArcGIS tools for processing of geospatial data for • Export of geometry HEC-RAS • Import of HEC-RAS output for display in GIS • Available from HEC at • http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/hec-georas_downloads.html

  21. Hydraulic Modeling with Geo-RAS GIS data HEC-RAS Geometry HEC-RAS Flood Profiles Flood display in GIS

  22. Solving St. Venant equations • Analytical • Solved by integrating partial differential equations • Applicable to only a few special simple cases of kinematic waves • Numerical • Finite difference approximation • Calculations are performed on a grid placed over the (x,t) plane • Flow and water surface elevation are obtained for incremental time and distances along the channel x-t plane for finite differences calculations

  23. Explicit Implicit Finite Difference Approximations Temporal derivative Temporal derivative Spatial derivative Spatial derivative Spatial and temporal derivatives use unknown time lines for computation Spatial derivative is written using terms on known time line
