This numerical study has been performed to predict the flow patterns and characteristics around Soyang multipurpose dam as the flow of the dam reaches to the flood design capacity or near flooding due to weather changes resulting from the global warming trend. A commercially known software, FLOW-3D®, was applied to numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equations for solution domains which are separated into three regions with overlapping boundaries to efficiently accommodate the grid resolutions: namely, the reservoir, the spillway and the stilling basin. Calculations by using a Pentium (500Mhz) personal computer took typically a few days for the reservoir of up to a half million grid system and less for other domains. The calculated results such as pressure, velocities, flow rate, surface height were compared with the scale model data where available. The reservoir calculation shows 4percentage more discharge than the operation manual and uneven discharge through each gate due to a complex flow pattern just upstream of the weir. In the spillway calculation reached the maximum velocity to about 43m/sec. Also, the reattachment distance at the stilling basin is in good agreement with the measurement. In conclusion, the results from numerical simulation are generally well agreed with the existing data and flow information such as flow field patterns at increased flow, local flow disturbances, discharge rate and surface height distribution is obtained to be used for engineering design purpose. |
