摘要
The importance of computational grids in hydraulic numerical models is studied by numerical simulation of jet flow in a rectangular duct which is linked with a fixed width inlet and a different width outlet using a standard k-epsilon turbulence model. The computational results show the numerical solutions may not be reasonable because of the incorrect computational grid and each numerical model bass grid-independent solution. The computational grid has a definitive effect on the accuracy and stability of the computational solution, which must be divided well according to the simulated geometry and physical characters of hydraulic problems. The main guidelines about the formation of computational grid in such aspects as node distribution, smoothness and skewness of grid, have been given.
