Abstract:The spillway is a hydraulic structure used for managing discharge, dissipating energy, and aeration purposes. The objective of this CFD analysis was to compare the ways in which water moved over various slanted spillways. Both the turbulence and the air–water interface were located using the volume of fluid (VOF) technique and a realizable k-model. Five different spillway models with varying slopes (normal = 30°, compound1 = 20° and 39°, and compound2 = 39° and 20°) were modelled and simulated in ANSYS Fluent.… Show more
