Abstract

For the hydraulic engineering and design of hydro power stations and the adjacent reach, the flow analysis is carried out by computational fluid dynamics based on 2D. Among the 2D methods, especially the methods based on the shallow water equations are suitable for this field of application. For the examination of groundwater tables around the reach and in flood plains, a non-steady model for groundwater flow was developed, which can be used to simulate and to analyse the groundwater flow depending on weir water level and the reach water level considering hydrological sources and sinks. For a real situation with a weir at a river, the influence of the water level variation on the weir is examined and the consequences for the groundwater table are determined. The coupled problem of the reach including the weir and the hydro power and of the groundwater table is solved by using a direct coupling and a hybrid method.
