Description
Project description
If any obstacle is placed on the path of the fluid flow, it causes the fluid level to rise behind it and increase its velocity, which eventually leads to fluid overflowing over the obstacle. These obstacles are regarded as spillways. spillways have different uses depending on their shape and are mostly used in civil engineering. In this project, the two-phase flow of water and air flowing over an ogee spillway is simulated by ANSYS Fluent software. The water will enter the computational domain with a mass flow rate of 0.05 kg/s and it flows over the spillway. The standard k-epsilon model is exploited to solve fluid flow equations and the VOF multiphase model is used to investigate the motion and interaction of the existing phases.
The geometry of this model is designed in ANSYS design modeler® and is meshed in ANSYS meshing®. The mesh type used for this geometry is structured and the total element number is 12846.
Spillway Methodology
The simulation is performed in transient form in order to see the fluid motion over the spillway. Also, K-epsilon standard turbulence model is employed. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is used to model the phase, including the air and water-liquid.
Spillway Results
After the simulation process The contours of pressure, velocity, phases volume fraction, etc. are extracted and presented.
You can obtain Geometry & Mesh file and a comprehensive Training Movie that presents how to solve the problem and extract all desired results.

Terrill Williamson IV –
The description mentions the use of a standard k-epsilon model. Could you clarify when it is appropriate to use this turbulence model for a spillway simulation over more advanced turbulence models?
MR CFD Support –
In spillway simulations where the flow is expected to be highly turbulent with moderate Reynolds numbers, a standard k-epsilon model is often sufficient due to its robustness, simplicity, and limited computational cost. This model is most appropriate when accurate prediction of boundary layer characteristics is not critical. For more complex flow situations with significant anisotropy, curvature, or separation, more advanced models may be required.
Camylle Jacobi –
What features of the ogee spillway make it particularly suitable for the type of simulation performed in this CFD analysis?
MR CFD Support –
The ogee spillway shape is particularly suitable for the CFD simulation because it has a well-defined profile that dissipates energy and reduces erosion downstream effectively. This geometry is efficient in terms of passing floodwater, leading to more predictable flow characteristics that facilitate accurate modeling and analysis.
Anita Jenkins Sr. –
The use of structured meshing is interesting. Is structured meshing more effective for this type of simulation, and in what ways does it benefit the simulation results?
MR CFD Support –
Structured meshing is known for providing a higher level of control and consistency in the grid, which can lead to more accurate and stable results in simulations involving fluid dynamics. For this type of simulation, involving the flow over a spillway, structured meshing is effective as it captures the boundary layers more efficiently and results in less numerical diffusion around the geometry of the spillway.
