Abstract

Sediment-laden flow is a common phenomenon in nature and the deposition of sediments can make a great difference in landscape formation or marine systems. The complexity of this issue can be further increased with temporal variations in the free surface elevation. This paper aims to present a two-phase flow model that effectively integrates the non-hydrostatic free surface model with the Lagrangian point-particle model. The free surface elevation is conceptualized as a height function and is tracked using a Lagrangian-Eulerian method. This new model is validated by five test cases, showing a good agreement with analytical or experimental results. This demonstrates the model's proficiency in handling sediment-laden flow under various free surface flow conditions, particularly with surface waves. Consequently, the proposed model holds promise for investigating sediment-laden flow issues in coastal regions.
