Abstract
Abstract Artificial floating bed (AFB), as a novel type of ecological drainage ditch, is extensively used worldwide. To more effectively design the structure of the project, an accurate velocity model is required. In this study, a two-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was employed for the simulation of the vertical velocity in a channel with AFB. The large eddy simulation (LES) was conducted to simulate turbulent flows, while the drag force of AFB was discretized with a centered scheme. Two sets of experimental data were used to verify the model, the mean value of root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) are 0.93 and 1.84, respectively. This proved that the proposed model is more effective to simulate the vertical velocity in a channel with AFB.
