Abstract
To promote time and effort savings and to increase efficiency in experimenting with water-flow installations, the practical use of numerical simulation has been studied. The velocity distribution at the curve of the sand basin, was compared using numerical simulation data and field data measurements, with the intent of improving sand basin channel design. The numerical simulation data of the velocity distribution just downstream of the channel curve was in good agreement with the results obtained by measurement. It was confirmed that numerical simulation is useful and effective for channel designing.
