Materials / Tutorials for simulating flow over spillway
 

I am planning to use FLOW-3D for simulations of flow over spillway and dams. The flow over a spillway crest is characterized by the formation and gradual thickening of the turbulent boundary layer along the profile and gradual increase in accelerating flow followed by decrease in the depth of flow.

It would be great to know where I can get some FLOW-3D tutorial materials for setting up a generic problem involving flow over a spillway

Take a look at

http://www.flow3d.com/resources/tech..._tp_water.html

paper 29-09.

I expect you'll find some other stuff of interest there as well. For a time, flow science used a simulation of 3-d flow through a wier as a sort of logo. If you ask, they may still have that problem setup lying around in a file someplace.

Good luck.;)

One of the online tutorials in the manual is a spillway problem. Have you looked there?

I need the tutorials in manual for spillway problem please....

Can u provide me the tutorial of open channel flow( river flow or dam break)
