Ilisu Dam is one important energy projects in
Turkey. After it is completed, it is expected that it will contribute to the
country economy approximately $300 million annually. One of the most remarkable
engineering designs of the dam is the conversion of diversion tunnels of 12 m
in diameter and about 1 km in length into sluice outlet structure. In this
study, the CFD simulation of Ilısu Dam sluice outlet were performed with 1/40
scale. The obtained CFD results were compared with physical model observations conducted
by the State Water Works (SWW). A good agreement was achieved between both
results, and some useful results of CFD were presented for design of the
outlet.
