In FLOW-3D HYDRO, you can use either two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged or three-dimensional computational meshes. You can even use both 2D and 3D meshes within the same model. In this bridge example, a 2D mesh is used in the larger extent of the river, but a detailed 3D mesh is used near the bridge to capture the 3D flow behavior at the bridge piers. To learn more about how FLOW-3D HYDRO can be used as an advanced modeling tool to address even the most complex design issues, visit flow3d.com/products/flow-3d-hydro/rivers-and-environmental/.
