Abstract

In this paper, flow pattern around an unsubmerged T-shaped spur dike in a 45 degree position, and located in a 90 degree bend with different Froude Numbers has been studied using Flow-3D and has been compared with experimental results. To determine the effect of Froude Number on flow pattern, flow pattern in longitudinal, cross, and plan sections have been studied.
