Numerical simulation of an air-core vortex at a hydraulic intake using OpenFOAM
A vortex is a ubiquitous everyday phenomenon that is observed in nature and it is formed due to the rotational motion of fluid around an axis perpendicular to the free surface. Free surface vortices are a common unwanted occurrence at hydraulic intakes which can cause serious detrimental impacts on...
