Bifurcation Simulation Modeling Review

This paper reviews the advances made on studies related to bifurcation. Bifurcation has been an area of interest by researchers in hydraulics, hydrology and river engineering disciplines. This paper reviews the findings of nearly 10 years of researches into modeling bifurcation system with numerous simulation techniques. Efforts have been made to simulate behavior of bifurcation through the uses of numerical and physical models. The numerical approach under the pretext of computational fluid dynamic is an approach that uses the fundamental theory of fluid mechanics and hydraulics that simulates flow behavior.
