Modelling water flow in sand traps
The picture above shows a longitudinal profile of sediment deposition with antidunes. The grey area is the water, showing
turbulent kinetic energy with the greyscale. The coloured area is the average sediment diameter of the bed.

"Computational Fluid Dynamics for Hydraulic and Sedimentation Engineering" was made for the CFD part in our class "Withdrawal of water from sediment-carrying rivers". The class notes provides a simple introduction to the basics of CFD. The latest version was made 16. June 1999.
User's manual for SSIIM (3.5 MB PDF)
The user's manual for SSIIM provides standard information about the SSIIM program, like user interface, data format for input and result files etc. The latest version was made 21. April 2018.
Numerical modelling and hydraulics (1.7 MB)
The class notes for a course with the same name, given for the first time in the spring 2001. It is an undergraduate course in the 4th year of the Civil Engineering study at NTNU. This is the version from March 2012.
CFD Algorithms for Hydraulic Engineering (678 kB)
The book is a more detailed documentation of general and special hydraulic engineering CFD algorithms. It is intended to be used as a textbook for graduate courses in CFD, and also to provide assistance for people writing CFD codes. The present version is from 14. December 2000, and before this date it has not been checked by anyone but the author.
CFD for Hydraulic Structures (535 kB)
The book is about experiences using the SSIIM model to compute flow in/around hydraulic structures. The following cases are discussed: Vegetation, spillways, local scour and intakes. The present version is from 8. May 2001.
