Advantages of CFD
Setup Compare with
CFD model streamgauging Data Study the fundamental
aspects of flow fields and
energy losses
Calibrate the
CFD model Able to generate synthetic
flow data for flow rating
Generate new flow data Provide an alternative way
from CFD analysis to cross test the
streamgauging

ANSYS FLUENT Solver
FLUENT has been used to investigate the 3D nature of complex flow, evaluate the
design improvements, define best-operational practices, and identify operational
conditions that may pose risk to structures stability which are often found at District
water control structures
