wastewater discharge dispersion

Hello [name removed] all TELEMAC2D users,

I have developed a model for the dispersion of discharges into the receiving environment. After running the simulation, I do not observe any dispersion at the discharge points.

Please find the .cas file attached.

Could someone kindly check and help identify the source of the problem?

Thank you very much for your collaboration.

Hello,

If you do not want to have diffusion, the good choices are:

  • DIFFUSION OF VELOCITY = YES (default choice),

  • VELOCITY DIFFUSIVITY = 0. as you wrote.

Depending on the scheme for advection of velocities, choosing DIFFUSION OF VELOCITY = NO does not do what is expected.

Moreover, VARIABLE TIME-STEP = YES with Finite elements is not recommended.

Hope this helps,
