Abstract Numerical models trying to faithfully represent the movement of floating bodies transport in open-channel flow require experimental data for validation. In order to provide an adequate dataset, flume experiments were carried out to analyse the transport of singular and grouped rigid bodies floating on the water surface. Both cylindrical and spherical samples were employed: they were released in a rectangular channel under steady conditions in one-dimensional (plain channel) and two-dimensional (2D) configurations using one rectangular side obstacle, one smooth side obstacle or two rectangular alternate obstacles. The outcomes of the experiments are the planar displacement and the rotation of the samples, which are related to the flow field in the different configurations. The detailed experimental analysis of the floating body motion provides information for the calibration of numerical models simulating floating bodies transport. This dataset is thus employed for the validation of the Eulerian–Lagrangian model ORSA2D_WT, highlighting its strengths and improvable aspects. Similar applications could be carried out with any 2D model which performs the simulation of discrete elements moving on the water surface.

Mechanical Effects

It is a well known experimental fact that the undulation such as sand-ripples or antidunes are formed on the bed surface composed of fine sand, corresponding to the flow characteristics of open channel flow.O In this case, as the mechanical effects of the bed undulationes stated above, a kind of periodic motion is superposed on the flow, and accordingly the water surface undulates periodically. On the other hand, the mechanical effects of this surface undulationes are surperposed on these undulating bed surfaces as another kind of periodic motion. The wave generated in open sea propagates upstream through an estuary. Accordingly the incoming wave is superposed on the flow stated above as a forced oscillation. Both of these phenomena are in the coexistence system of flow and waves in the open channel flow. In this paper, as the first step to study the subjects stated above, the author treats the problem of the coexistence system in the case when the forced oscillation of water surface is superposed on the open channel flow with fixed bed, and analyzes theoretically and experimentally the mechanical properties of the reciprocal action between flow and waves.
