Abstract
A numerical study of the Prairie du Sac forebay was performed to better understand the flow field characteristics near a proposed downstream fish passage. The numerical model is based on the RANS equations together with a standard κ - ε turbulence model. A field survey was performed to create a topographic representation of the Wisconsin River from the face of Prairie du Sac dam to 800 meters upstream of the dam. The effect of the fish bypass flow rate on the flow field close to the downstream fish passage was investigated. The fish bypass influence zone was calculated. Comparison between the velocity and acceleration fields near the bypass are presented and discussed.
