Designing effective fish passage structures requires careful analysis of flow velocities, depths, drop heights, and turbulence characteristics to ensure upstream passage success for target species. This FLOW-3D HYDRO simulation of a vertical slot fishway evaluates flow velocities throughout the structure for comparison with fish swimming capabilities. The 3D CFD model captures complex hydraulic patterns that can create barriers or assist fish movement, allowing engineers to optimize geometric design before construction. CFD modeling reduces design uncertainties and helps ensure compliance with fisheries requirements while minimizing construction costs. Learn more at flow3d.com/fish-passage-solutions
