Specifically, I aim to simulate the local scour at the base of a bridge pier subjected to free-surface flow.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The scenario involves the interaction of free-stream water flow with the bridge pier, considering the effects of surface tension between air and water, as well as the drag effect that water exerts on sediment particles.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simulation Objectives:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; Three-Phase Interaction: Model the simultaneous presence and interaction of air, water, and sediment in the computational domain.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; Surface Tension Effects: Capture the influence of surface tension between air and water on the flow dynamics near the bridge pier.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; Drag Effect of Sediments: Account for the drag exerted by water on sediment particles within the flow, affecting sediment transport and deposition patterns.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Approach and Questions:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Eulerian Model Suitability: Is the Eulerian multiphase model appropriate for simulating such a scenario? I intend to use this model to handle the distinct phases of air, water, and sediment.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Recommended Settings: What additional settings or adjustments would you suggest to successfully execute this simulation? Specifically, concerning phase interaction, turbulence modeling, and, more importantly, what settings should I configure within the Multiphase Model window? Any guidance on phase interaction or parameter tuning within this section would be particularly appreciated.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Potential Limitations: Additionally, I would like to know about any potential limitations associated with this type of simulation, should it be feasible to conduct it in the first place.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I appreciate any insights, recommendations, or past experiences with similar simulations using ANSYS Fluent. Your expertise and guidance would greatly assist me in setting up and executing this complex simulation accurately.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luca&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-388289","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-multiphase_models-1","topic-tag-drag-force","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-three-phase-flow-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dear ANSYS Fluent Forum Members,I am currently exploring the feasibility of conducting a three-phase simulation involving air, water, and sediment using the Eulerian model in ANSYS Fluent.
