CFD Modeling for Low-Head Dams: The Angels are in the Details

JTVCcG9zdF9wdWJsaXNoZWQlNUQ=Low-head Dock Street Dam on the Susquehanna River has experienced 30 documented deaths between 1935 and 2018.It is impossible to simulate, study, and remedy the highly dangerous and complex circulating currents at these low-head dams using standard 1D or 2D modeling approaches. Even though generalized physical models and published empirical data are present to provide a general…
