Numerical simulation of vegetated flows using RANS equations coupled with a porous media approach in OpenFOAM

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to study the use of an alternative formulation of a submerged vegetation layer in open channel flow, using a porous medium instead. The turbulent flow is modelled with the use of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations using the open-source toolbox Open...
