Accurate free surface modeling is essential for analyzing complex spillway hydraulics and optimizing discharge performance in dam structures. This ray-traced rendering of a Piano Key Weir (PKW) simulation demonstrates FLOW-3D HYDRO's free surface modeling capabilities, capturing the complex flow patterns over the non-linear weir geometry with both accuracy and computational efficiency. The visualization showcases how CFD modeling can predict detailed hydraulic behavior in PKW structures for design optimization and performance assessment.
