Abstract

The objective of the study is to present a two dimensional model with incorporated dispersion terms as source term in transport equations for simulation of curvilinear flow field. The comparison of the simulated velocity field and water surface elevation indicated that the incorporation of such terms has reasonably improved the secondary flow scenario.
