This FLOW-3D HYDRO simulation shows a cross section of the flow down a tailings storage facility (TSF) spillway during a probable maximum flood (PMF), as modeled by MECATER Ingénierie of Tunisia. "We found that CFD modeling was a powerful tool for evaluating the design of our spillway structure. In fact, with its capability to simulate hydraulic jump and real conditions such as air entertainment model, fluid characteristics and also its accurate FAVOR™ method to generate meshing, we were able to confirm the results we’d obtained earlier with 2D software tools as well as those of our scale model."
