sedInterFoam 1.0: a three-phase numerical model for sediment transport applications with free surfaces

Antoine Mathieu, Yeulwoo Kim, Tian-Jian Hsu, Cyrille Bonamy, and Julien Chauchat

Abstract. In this paper, an Eulerian two-phase-flow model sedFoam is extended to include an air phase together with the water and sediment phases. The numerical model called sedInterFoam is implemented using the open source library OpenFOAM. SedInterFoam includes the previous features of sedFoam for sediment transport modeling and also solves the air/water interface using the volume of fluid method coupled with the waves2Foam toolbox for free surface wave generation and absorption. Using sedInterFoam, four test cases are successfully reproduced to validate the free-surface evolution algorithm implementation, mass conservation of sediment and fluid phases, predictive capabilities and demonstrate its potential in modelling a broader range of coastal applications with sediment transport dominated by surface waves.

Short summary
Most of the tools available to model sediment transport do not account for complex physical mechanisms such as surface wave driven processes. In this study, a new model sedInterFoam allows to reproduce numerically complex configurations to investigate coastal sediment transport applications dominated by surface waves and gain insight into the complex physical processes associated with breaking waves and morphodynamics.
