Abstract

Generally, The problem of sediments at the entrances to subsidiary channels is considered one of the most common problems for which water resources engineers seek to find appropriate solutions, as it causes significant damage to hydraulic installations, as the accumulation of these sediments in the canal rollers over time leads to the collapse of those channels, which results in many losses. In this study, a three-dimensional mathematical model was developed using the Ansys Fluent CFD program, and this model was matched with previous laboratory experiments, as this mathematical model showed clear accuracy and consistency. Work was done on changing the geometry of the sub-channel and studying the effect of changing the inclination of the sub-channel on reducing the amount of sediment entering the channel or not, since the channel used in this study is 2 m. Adjustments were made to the inclination of the canal in two different forms: The first is to make the first half (1 m) of the canal horizontal, and the inclination begins in the second half, at three different angles, namely 15, 30, and 45 degrees. The other form is to change the inclination along the total length of the sub-channel (2 m) with the same effect. Angles 15, 30 and 45. The results showed the ineffectiveness of changing the inclination of the sub-channel from the middle of the distance, while the results of changing the total inclination were different. It is possible that the slope angle of 45 is considered the best in terms of increasing the speed and clearly reducing the area of the separation zone and the erosion zone.
