Fluid-Solid Coupling with FLOW-3D HYDRO and RocScour - Rock Scour Assessment in Water Infrastructure

Explore rock scour assessments in the water industry through this comprehensive webinar. Learn about the risks associated with rock scour at water infrastructure, methods for estimating rock scour, and a numerical modelling approach using iterative fluid-solid coupling with 2D/3D CFD models. Examine a case study at an Australian dam and work through an example of using local computer and cloud computing to perform a coupled fluid-solid rock scour analysis. Gain insights into Flow-3D Hydro, its applications, and when to use 3D CFD. Discover computational methods, digital software, and fluid-solid coupling approaches through a gated spillway case study. Engage with expert presenters as they discuss hydraulic model details, rock scour at bridge piers, and provide key takeaways for water infrastructure challenges.
