The correlation between computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) is crucial for the behavior prediction of aerodynamic bodies. This paper’s objective is twofold: (1) to develop a method that approaches commercial CFD codes and their link with EFD in a more efficient way, using a downscaled model, and (2) to investiga...

Although calcium carbonate is more commonly used in powder form, it could have exciting applications in bulk form, such as bone scaffolds, synthetic corals, and artificial rocks. Additive manufacturing (vat-photopolymerization) is a promising strategy for producing parts with complex geometries. However, two main challenges arise: 1) Producing a Ca...
Unbound base layers can be stabilized with geogrids that reduce lateral movement of granular material thus improving its stiffness through particle interlocking inside geogrid openings. Good particles-geogrid interlocking depends significantly on the ratio of geogrid aperture size to the average soil particle size. This paper describes testing of a...
Porous ceramics have a wide range of applications in areas such as energy storage, heat transfer and sewage treatment. One of the common preparation methods of porous ceramics is photocuring 3D printing technology. However, many cracks inevitably appear on the surface of the porous ceramic skeleton after sintering. These cracks impair the mechanica...

This research aims to examine the capability of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method in simulating the behavior of dam break waves. It begins by building a 2D numerical simulation using OpenFOAM. To overcome the influence of turbulence, we employed the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulent model, specifically the k-Equation and Smagorinsky model. The simulation was developed by applying the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite volume method in OpenFOAM. The analysis focuses on the free surface of a dam break. The results are in good accordance with both analytical and experimental results. The simulation has followed the trend of experimental and analytical free surface profiles at the dam break’s early and late conditions. The low mesh number on the computational domain caused significant differences in the wavefront of the dam break. It reduced the accuracy of the calculation between the water and air interface. This study highlights the importance of understanding dam break wave behavior as part of risk mitigation for dam leakage. The behavior of dam break waves can be observed by determining observation positions at different locations, with the water gate of a dam serving as the reference point. These highly accurate numerical results indicate that the CFD approach employing OpenFOAM can be relatively cost-effective yet accurate in analyzing multiphase problems, such as dam breaks. This CFD approach is expected to contribute to developing mitigation and disaster prevention in the future.
