Effect of submerged vanes on open channel flow

When water is taken from the desired parts of the natural or regulated river bed, it is necessary to use river regulation structures to prevent slope and bed erosion. The main project criteria used in this type of river regulation structures are flow rate and flow velocity. Stream regulation structures are made to manage flow and flow-related parameters. These structures are built in order to protect, regulate and use the river efficiently. Submerged wing structures are an effective alternative method used to control flow in river regulation studies. They are structures that change and control the flow rate and sediment transport by changing the direction of water. In this study, the flow is modeled in 3D by using computational fluid dynamics program (CFD) for river regulation study with submerged wing structures. In the model, the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and the modeling technique for free-surface fluid volumes were used. The submerged wing model flow velocity results obtained using 3D computational fluid dynamics were evaluated by comparing them with the flow velocities obtained from the previous submerged wing experimental results. Continuity, non-linear motion and turbulence model equations are used in the numerical model created. The k-ε turbulence model was used for turbulent viscosity. The results of the present model are compared with the previous experimental study. Experimental a
