Abstract
The conventional method of simulation using fixed mesh method (FMM) of discretization is a well-known and trusted procedure in modelling hydraulic dynamics. However, new ideas of innovation in modelling should be advanced. The moving mesh method (MMM) has been considered as a novel approach in modelling hydraulic dynamics after depending on the existing simulation model for decades. The MMM is capable of describing the moving boundary condition of an actual wetland system due to water ponding. An idealized model should be able to simulate the actual hydraulic flows through the system with the corresponding porosity. Hence, a combination of MMM and FMM (MM-FMM) of discretization for hydraulic dynamics is studied in this project to model the flux with respect to water ponding scenario in a sludge treatment reed bed and unsaturated transient flow within the bed. Such method has evidently proved to simulate the actual hydraulic flows in contrast to conventional method. The application of MMM limits the maximum flux to keep within its saturated conductivity, thus reduces the effect of flow overprediction. Subsequently, the simulated results for hydraulic head and moisture content can be predicted for actual condition of different cases according to their respective fluxes.
