FLOW-3D HYDRO provides accurate simulation of a wide range of issues facing the water & environmental Industry,
from large hydroelectric power projects to small municipal wastewater treatment systems. Simulation can play a
crucial role for testing design options, helping to reduce complexity and focus efforts on optimized solutions. The
valuable insights derived from numerically testing different design options can save considerable time and money.

FLOW-3D HYDRO specializes in transient, free-surface flows making it the ideal tool for simulating fluid where the
surface varies spatially and is either constant or varying in time by employing numerical algorithms. Free-surface
flows are those with a distinct interface between fluids with a high degree of density variation such as water and air.
Modeling free surface flows requires advanced algorithms combined with general flow equations and turbulence
modeling. This capability enables FLOW-3D HYDRO to capture the trajectory of flow from a spillway, hydraulic jumps
and surface variations formed by flow about submerged structures.

Hydroelectric power projects are sensitive to three-dimensional
flow effects, and accurately predicting flow patterns is important
for maximizing efficiency. FLOW-3D HYDRO is an industry leader
in free surface flow modeling, and is used by dam professionals to
address a wide range of design problems for existing and
proposed projects.
Common challenges that FLOW-3D HYDRO addresses include
improving flow efficiency and distribution at intakes and spillways,
performing complex environmental impact assessments of dams,
and designing and optimizing fish passages.
SPILLWAYS
FLOW-3D HYDRO is widely used in the design of
proposed spillways to help meet dam safety

Localized air entrainment in'a hydraulic jump

Understanding the effects of entrained air on flow bulking, overtopping, and cavitation is a critical compent for
the design and analysis of hydraulic structures. Entrained air also plays in important role in the reaction rates and
mixing processes of wastewater treatment plants. Capabilities include localized and turbulent free surface entrain-
ment o.bserved at impinging jets and spillways.The entrained airlwater mixture is stmulated as a two-phase fluid
using the drift-flux model, accounting for the variable density and buoyant effects of the entrained airbubbles.

SEDIMENT SCOUR
3D sediment transport modeling can be used to evaluate
scour and deposition, where 3D dimensionalflow
components are driVing the scouring process. FLOW-3D
HYDRO solves the full unsteady non-hydrostatic Reynolds-
averaged Navier-Stokes equations that describe the flow
physics. The hydrodynamic solver is fully coupled with a
sediment transport module that;imulates bedload and
suspended sediment transport and erosion. All empirical
relationships used in bedload, entrainment and settling
processes are fully customizable, and up to 10 different
sediment species can be defined. FLOW-3D HYDRO is ideal
for simulating local scour over short episodic time scales.
