Baffle blocks are commonly used to dissipate energy in spillways, creating turbulence that causes air entrainment in the flow. FLOW-3D HYDRO's Air Entrainment model captures this phenomenon, and color mapping allows visualization of the growing air concentration as water flows down the baffled spillway and releases in the stilling basin. CFD modeling can help you optimize spillway designs for effective energy dissipation. Learn more at flow3d.com/hydro
