Abstract

In this study, the flow pattern and scouring around the submerged sharp edge weir, with different slope angles, have been numerically simulated using the Flow-3D model. After validating the results of the numerical model in simulating the flow pattern and scour around the weir with a 90∘ angle, the effect of the weir angles relative to the upstream and downstream on the flow and scour field had been investigated. The results showed upstream and downstream of the weir, vortex flows were formed and by taking an angle of 90∘, the vortex flows were weakened. In addition, the downstream slope of the weir had little effect on the upstream water level and most changes occurred in the downstream flow depth with a 90∘ angle. The downstream scour depth was independent of the upstream slope angle and the upstream scour depth was independent of the downstream slope. When the upstream angle became closer to the horizon, scouring was reduced in this area. The depth of scour downstream was greater than the depth of scouring upstream. Angles of 50∘, 70∘, 110∘ and 130∘ had slight changes in the depth of the downstream scour, but compared to the angle of 90∘, the depth of the downstream scour for these angles decreased significantly.
