Abstract
The characteristics of the flow under a sluice gate are investigated experimentally. Velocities and pressure profiles as long as the contraction coefficient are measured for various flow rates (from 30 m3h−1 to 50 m3h−1) and used to validate numerical simulations. In this paper, 2D and 3D simulations are conducted with the open-source software OpenFOAM. Reynolds stresses model is used to model the turbulence and volume of fluids method to track the interface.
