Abstract
This paper describes new approach in the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the performance of hydraulic design and operation. As an alternative to traditional reduced-scale physical model, this paper promotes a CFD-based numerical investigation to provide detailed 3D flow fields, pressures, water surface elevations, flow and structure interactions, and other flow physics to assess the performance of different hydraulic structures under various operational scenarios. Two CFD applications of hydraulic structures design and operation at Everglades Restoration Project are presented in this paper. Both case studies show how CFD can be iteratively used to optimize the design and operation of hydraulic structures, and to predict their future behavior under various operational conditions in a very cost effective way.
