Ship Lock

In some textbooks, the Steady-flow Integral Method (SIM) was used to compute the full time of Draining into a Ship Lock, although this method is simple, it only provides a coarse estimation and somehow misleads the students due to approximating the unsteady problem as a steady one and ignoring the inertia effect. The more complex CFD-based model, FLUENT, was used to compensate these shortcomings, the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was utilized to calculate the free-surface, and the turbulence closure was obtained by the realizable k-ε turbulence model. The values of draining time derived from the two different methods have the same order of magnitude. By CFD, a more precise estimation of the draining time and abundant details about the draining process were obtained. In practical engineering, the geometry of a lock is far more complex than here, the SIM is hard to satisfy the demands for a optimal design, while the CFD method is a nice choice for this purpose.
