Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of the Hydraulic Characteristics of Spillway in Gushitan Reservoir

Abstract:

Based on standard k-ε turbulence model and the VOF method for tracking free surface, hydraulic characteristics of the spillway in Gushitan Reservoir are simulated with a 3-D numerical model. The discharge capacity, water surface profiles, bottom pressure distribution and flow pattern are studied. Numerical simulation results have been in good agreement with experimental results, showing fine feasibility to study hydraulic characteristics of the spillway with the VOF method. The hydraulic characteristics acquired by the numerical simulation method can be used for spillway design.
