External flow over bridge

External Flow on a Bridge

Numerical simulation of external aerodynamic flow over a bridge deck using OpenFOAM. The study focuses on flow separation, vortex shedding, and force estimation (drag, lift, moment).

Stilling Basin 2D model

Numerical simulation of a stilling basin flow. The model is a 2D simplification, but worth to analyse. It includes a codedMixed boundary condition to replicate an imposed water depth at the outlet.

Turbulence model for stilling basins

Stilling Basin 2D model

Numerical simulation of a stilling basin flow. The study is a comparison of the models K-Epsilon and K-Omega SST models, following a methodology to evaluate the performance of the stilling basins. This research was part of my Thesis at the National University of Engineering, supervised by Dr. Julio Kuroiwa Zevallos. The experimental research was supervised by Eng. Luis Castro.
