Abstract

One of the significant issues in hydraulic engineering is reducing erosion in rivers by using groynes to preserve soil. The purpose of this study is to investigate numerically the groynes' presence on the sedimentary flow parameters using FLOW-3D software. For this purpose, groynes were examined at angles 30°, 60°, and 90° under 10 scenarios in various discharge and hydraulic conditions. Here, the mesh block with dimensions of 5 mm was chosen as the optimal mesh block for simulating models. In addition, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model was used for simulations. In the scenarios where two blades are used scouring is observed in the first blade, while the sedimentation phenomenon was observed in the groyne after the first groyne in the direction of the flow. In the two blades with a distance of 0.60 m from each other, 48 mm erosion occurred. The highest amount of scour is related to the arched groyne (LLeft-Q285) with 45 mm. Discharges have an increased effect on scouring, so by comparing the scenarios with one groyne (I-Q285, I-Q200, and I-Q350), the lowest amount is with the value of 5.5mm corresponding to I-Q200. The insufficient erosion in the angled groynes corresponds to the smaller angle scenario.
