FESWMS Model
The FESWMS-FST2DH is a hydrodynamic model that supports both super and subcritical flow analyses, including area wetting and drying. Developed by Dr. Dave Froelich PE in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), FESWMS is specifically suited for modeling flow control structures such as those encountered at the intersection of roadways and waterways. FST2DH also has the capability to simulates movement of non-cohesive sediment in rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters.
Features
- General purpose 2D depth-averaged steady state and transient flow model
- Accepts a wide variety of boundery conditions
- Model several types of 1D flow control structures, such as weirs, culverts, and bridge openings
- Represent flow resistence from bridge piers
- Model pressure flow under bridge decks
- Coupled hydrodynamic/sediment transport analysis for modeling scour and deposition of non-cohesive sediments
Applications
- General purpose 2D super and subcritical flow model
- Flow distribution around islands
- Specifically designed for modeling flow control structures and flow through bridge crossings
- Flow in contracting/expanding reaches and at river junctions
- General water levels and flow patterns in rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries
