Bed Scour CFD-DEM Simulation: Protecting Hydraulic Structures with Fluent & Rocky
🔍 Discover how CFD-DEM coupling can save hydraulic structures from scour damage! In this advanced simulation tutorial, we explore bed scour analysis around a hydraulic structure using ANSYS Fluent and Rocky DEM. This powerful combination allows you to accurately model the interaction between fluid flow and sediment particles — a critical factor in the safety and longevity of dams, bridges, and marine platforms.
🌊 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to set up a CFD-DEM coupled simulation for bed scour prediction
✅ Modeling sediment erosion and transport using Rocky DEM particles
✅ Simulating turbulent flow around hydraulic structures with ANSYS Fluent
✅ Analyzing scour depth and sediment deposition patterns for structural safety
🎯 This simulation is essential for civil engineers, hydraulic researchers, and CFD analysts involved in environmental fluid mechanics, coastal engineering, or geotechnical safety assessments.
