Abstract:

In this paper, we used VOF combining turbulent model to simulate pressure distribution of pressure section and non-pressure section in a hydropower station spillway tunnel with high head and large discharge in China. The results show that in the pressure section of the spillway tunnel, the values of pressure of emergency gate slot, working gate and the pressing slope, getting from physical model experiment and numerical simulation, are all positive. While in the non-pressure section, the No.1、2、3 aerators of the sudden enlargement and sudden drop occur the maximum pressure. And at the back of the No.1、2、3 aerators, where the values of pressure are negative, forms cavity. The conclusions obtained can improve the design of spillway tunnel.
