This study was conducted to compare water surface profiles with standard ogeecrested spillways. Different methods were used, such as (experimental models, numerical models, and design nomographs for the United States Army Corps of Engineers, USACE). In accordance with the USACE specifications, three different models were constructed from rigid foam and then installed in a testing flume. The water surface profile has been recorded for these models with different design heads. For modeling the experimental model configurations, a numerical model based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique was used and is developed to simulate the water surface profile of the flow over the ogee-crested spillway. A 2D SPHysics open-source software has been used in this study, using the SPH formulation to model fluid flow, developing the SPH boundary procedure to handle open-boundary simulations, and modifying the open-source SPHysics code for this purpose. The maximum absolute difference between the measured and computed results of the water surface profile for all head ratios of (H/Hd), does not exceed 4.63% at the crest region, the numerical results for the water surface profile showed good agreement with the physical model results. The results obtained experimentally and numerically by SPH are compared with the CFD results in order to be more reassuring from the results. Additional comparisons were made using interpolated data from USACE, Waterways Experiment Station (WES), and design nomographs. The SPH technique is considered very promising and effective for free surface flow applications.

As water damage phenomenon of spur dike exists generally, spur dike must be maintained in order to ensure its regulation function, but its structure changed in the process of maintenance.  In order to find out flow structure around the spur dike of different pattens, through generalized flume model tests, variation characteristics of water surface profile and flow velocity around the spur dike of five different pattens were analysed. The results show that the straight head had a greater influence than hook head spur dike on the water surface profile, circular cross-section had smaller effects than trapezoidal cross-section spur dike on the water surface profile; Velocity of Choke area and contraction order from large to small is trapezoidal cross-section and fan straight head dike, trapezoidal cross-section and arc straight head dike, arc section and arc straight head dam, trapezoidal cross-section and fan hook head dike, trapezoidal cross-section arc hook head dike; Cross section vertical velocity distribution from large to small is trapezoidal cross-section and fan hook head dam, trapezoidal cross-section and circular straight head dike, arc cross-section and circular straight head dam, trapezoidal cross-section and circular hook head dike.

Abstract: Weir is usually used in different hydraulic purposes, mainly for head discharge-water relationship in channels. In this research, the flow has been carried out over the side of spillway using three cases of crest inclination by means of increasing one side of the weir a half centimeter each time with constant crest length equal to 15 cm. This means that the angle θ equals to (1.91˚, 3.82˚ and 5.71˚) respectively towards of the flow and is opposite to the flow with decreasing a half centimeter. Also in case of the breadth is horizontal (θ=0), seven cases have been tested. It is known that the greater amount of discharge occurs when the breadth is horizontal (θ=0). In case of the inclination of the weir is inclined opposite to the flow direction, the discharge is greater than that of which the weir inclined towards the flow direction for all cases of inclination. The greater discharge was obtained when decreasing the angle, which is opposite to the flow direction. The amount of discharge over the side of weir decreases by increasing the angle of the slope opposite to the direction of the flow and become more decreasing in case the inclination of side weir towards the flow. In case of increasing the angle of inclination in flow direction, the amount of discharge over side weir will be decreased. The effect of Froude number has also studied with the discharge coefficient and found that, they are proportionally related to each other. Also the water surface profile along the side spillway weir is studied and taken under consideration theoretically and experimentally in this research.
