  The present research work shows the simulation of the gated flow over an ogee crested spillway for one of water reservoir. The average velocities and Froude Number analysis at various gate openings gives a better insight of flow behavior. Also, the simulations were carried out by changing the gate bottom shape. The STAR CCM+ CFD tool is used to solve the fluid flow performance. The flow parameters near the bottom of the gate have been studied with two types of fluid flow models i.e. Volume of Fluid (VOF) and Multi-Mixture Fluid Models. The use of Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model together with RNG k-ε turbulence for the simulation, gives the excellent agreement between the experimental and numerical data. The spillway performance of the gated flow at various gate openings resembles with the actual flow behavior. The applicability of the CFD model to simulate the gated flo.. View More»
