Abstract

Side weirs are extensively used in the hydraulic and environmental engineering applications. The modeling of free surface flow over a labyrinth side weir is a sophisticated problem in the hydraulic engineering. The water surface profiles over the triangular labyrinth side weirs were investigated by many of the researchers experimentally and theoretically. In this study, the free surface flow over the triangular labyrinth side weir was modeled by using Volume of Fluids (VOF) method to describe the flow characteristics in subcritical flow conditions. A valid method, Grid Convergence Index (GCI) was used to determine the numerical uncertainty of the simulation results. The simulation results were compared with experimental observations, and good agreements were obtained between the both results.
