Abstract
To imitate the constraints of topographic conditions, turning pools with different angles, such as 90° and 180°, are set in fish passage arrangements. If the mainstream in the turning pool is close to the wall and the recirculation zone is too large, it will have an adverse effect on fish migration. Taking the 180° turning pool as an example, five types of arrangements without and with additional rectifier baffles are proposed to optimize the body shape of the turning pool. A three-dimensional numerical simulation method is used to compare and analyze the different arrangement schemes. The results show that adding rectifier baffles can adjust the flow structure in the 180° turning pool. The arrangement adding rectifier baffles at the two three-equidistant points of the 180° turning pool and tilting 15° inward outperforms others in this study. This arrangement can center the mainstream, reduce turbulent kinetic energy, significantly decrease the flow velocity along the course, downscale the recirculation zone, and decrease the overall flow velocity.
