[en] The characteristics of the flow under a sluice gate are investigated experimentally. Velocities and pressure profiles as long as the contraction coefficient are measured for various flow rates and used to validate numerical simulations. In this paper, 2D and 3D simulations are conducted with open sources software OpenFOAM, Reynolds Stresses Model is used to model the turbulence and volume of fluids method to track the interface.
