Investigation Of Energy Dissipation And Sediment Scour Over A Regulator Using CFD

"Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software hold an important place in hydraulic engineering as well as in other engineering fields. Use of CFD software in the hydraulic field can also provide reliable and accurate results. Indeed, hydraulic and hydrologic factors play key roles in addition to static and dynamic loads acting on water structures. In this study, flow dynamics on a sample regulator structure are investigated by using FLOW-3D software program. The study investigates the energy dissipation on the spillway and downstream sediment scour of a regulator for different flow conditions. Thus, using of numerical methods were discussed in this respect."
