Numerical modelling of sluice gates with different baffle types under submerged flow conditions
Abstract
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) analyze software package programs recently gained a high
importance in hydraulic engineering. The present study investigates how different sills will affect
in terms of flow dynamics. In the study, velocity contours and velocity magnitudes for each sill
shapes are investigated. The velocity magnitudes are compared by taking 4 cross-sections from the
downstream region. Results showed that sills located at downstream of the channel decrease the
velocity magnitude at per selected location. Thereby it was concluded that the sill usages could
protect the channel bottom from the cavitational and scouring damages due to high flow velocities.
In this respect the study will help to the hydraulic designs in this scope.
