Program description

Hydrodynamic modelling in Delft3D
7-8 April 2014,
27-28 October 2014


Course background
The hydrodynamic module Delft3D-FLOW is a multidimensional hydrodynamic simulation program that calculates non-steady flow and transport phenomena resulting from tidal and meteorological forcing on a curvilinear, boundary-fitted grid. In 3D simulations, the hydrodynamic module applies the so-called sigma co-ordinate transformation in the vertical, which results in a smooth representation of the bottom topography. It also results in a high computing efficiency because of the constant number of vertical layers over the whole computational domain.


The hydrodynamic module is based on the full Navier-Stokes equations with the shallow water approximation applied. The equations are solved with a highly accurate unconditionally stable solution procedure.

Some areas of applications are
• Simulation of drying and flooding of inter-tidal flats (moving boundaries);
• Turbulence model to account for the vertical turbulent viscosity and diffusivity based on the eddy viscosity concept;
• Density gradients due to a non-uniform temperature and salinity concentration distribution (density driven flows);
• Enhancement of the bottom stresses due to waves;
• Many options for boundary conditions, such as water level, velocity, discharge and weakly reflective conditions;
• Online visualization of model parameters enabling the production of animations.
