NUMERICAL STUDY OF ICE AND CHANNEL PROCESSES ON THE BRIDGE SUPPORTS ACROSS THE KUIBYSHEV RESERVOIR (KAZAN)

Abstract

Numerical hydrodynamic modeling of water movement at discharges of 1% and 10% supply is considered in order to study the effect of ice effects and bottom deformations on the bridge supports across the reservoir of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric complex, and to predict the general erosion of the channel. The calculations use two-dimensional shallow water and sediment transport equations implemented in the STREAM 2D CUDA software package.
