Toward Improving Prediction of Sediment Transport over Wave-Induced Ripples
Rafik Absi, Hitoshi Tanaka
Sediment transport over wave-induced ripples is a very complex phenomenon where available models fail to provide accurate predictions. For coastal engineering applications, the 1-D…
A simple eddy viscosity formulation for turbulent boundary layers near smooth walls
Rafik Absi
The aim of this study is to improve the prediction of near-wall mean streamwise velocity profile by using a simple method. The profile is obtained by solving the moment…
An ordinary differential equation for velocity distribution and dip-phenomenon in open channel flows
Rafik Absi
An ordinary differential equation for velocity distribution in open channel flows is presented based on an analysis of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and a log-wake…
Teaching Fluid Mechanics for Undergraduate Students in Applied Industrial Biology: from Theory to Atypical Experiments
Rafik Absi, Caroline Nalpace, Florence Dufour +3
EBI is a further education establishment which provides education in applied industrial biology at level of MSc engineering degree. Fluid mechanics at EBI was considered by student…
Engineering Modeling of Wave-Related Suspended Sediment Transport Over Ripples
Rafik Absi
The aim of our study is to improve the description of suspended sediment transport over wave ripples. We will first show the importance of sediment diffusivity with convective tran…
Modeling turbulent mixing and sand distribution in the bottom boundary layer
Rafik Absi
For the calculation of turbulent mixing in the bottom boundary layer, we present simple analytical tools for the mixing velocity wm and the mixing length lm. Based on observations…
