[en] A central meandering jet in shallow rectangular reservoirs has been investigated numerically by the model WOLF2D, on the basis of experimental evidence of this type of flow field in two different setups at different scales. A sensitivity analysis has been conducted with respect to the main parameters of the model. The oscillation frequency of the transversal velocity and the characteristic Strouhal number have been calculated for different Froude numbers. A logarithmic relationship has been found between the Strouhal and the Froude numbers.
