2.3.7. Comparison with the Single Phase Model<br />
In the multi-phase CFD model <strong>for</strong> the full-scale flume, if the longitudinal VOF changes indicate that the<br />
water level is nearly flat along the culvert, it is possible to set up a single phase model to simulate the<br />
flow. Figure 2.24 illustrates the comparison of the velocity distribution between the multi-phase model<br />
<strong>and</strong> full scale single phase model <strong>for</strong> 6 inch water depth. Note that the maximum velocity occurred in<br />
the single phase case is 0.42 m/s, which is larger than 0.38m/s in the multi-phase case.<br />
