The Physical Model and the Numerical Model of Flow Pattern Downstream a Flat-Bottomed Sluice

Abstract:

The flow pattern of outflow from flat-bottomed sluice is significant to the design and operation of sluice. In this study, physical model and numerical model were constructed to investigate the flow pattern. First, physical model was setup to obtain the distribution of velocity under the condition of the sluice gate open. Second, numerical model is constructed to simulate the flow pattern. From the physical model and the numerical model, both models are dependable; the results reflect the actual flow situation reliably. In this paper, the combination of numerical model and physical model on flow field can be a reference for the hydraulic design and the operation of the flat-bottomed sluice.
