| Abstract | The most popular low Reynolds' number model is applied to steady flow, wave motion and wave-current coexistent motion. In doing so, the model equations are non dimensionalized and then finite difference equations are derived using an implicit finite difference scheme. A computer program is developed in FORTRAN 77 to solve these finite difference equations simultaneously. A variety of numerical experiments is performed for steady and unsteady flows. The transitional flow is successfully predicted for the first time by k - E model. The computed results are compared with the available experimental data and good agreement is found. |
