Numerical simulation of flow around submerged vane

A three dimensional model FLUENT is used to simulate the flow pattern around a submerged vane with different angles of attack placed in straight rectangular channel with rigid bed and results are compared with experimental one qualitatively. Differences between the flow pattern around vane with low and high angles of attack is outlined and is tried to find the optimum angle of attack. Also the efficiency of RSM and ε−kturbulence models on simulation is studied.
