Abstract
In this paper, a two-phase flow model combined with the Realizable k–ε turbulence model was used to simulate hydraulic characteristics of two-type dissipaters: the stepped spillway combined with stilling pool and the stepped spillway combined with wide tailing pier and stilling pool. The distributions of physical parameters, such as velocity field, pressure field, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence dissipation rate were obtained. The grid was generated by using the regional division method, the unstructured grids used for the irregular and complex parts and the structured grids for the regular and simple parts, and the grid density is arranged according to the flow gradient size. The finite volume method was adopted to discretized the control equations; and the VOF method was adopted to deal with the free water surface; and the PISO algorithm was used to solve the velocity and pressure coupling equations. A comparative analysis of the two energy-dissipators in the velocity field, pressure field, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence kinetic energy dissipation rate shows that the dissipation of overflow for a stepped spillway together with wide tailing piers and a stilling pool jointing energy dissipator is better than that with pier situation.
