"An Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to the Hydraulic Analysis of a Water Intake Tower" by Mark Wilsnack, South Florida Water Management District, is available to read on the JWMM website https://www.chijournal.org/C494
Hydraulic engineers must sometimes perform hydraulic analyses of water control structures to evaluate system behavior under current operational demands and determine if design improvements may be needed. This paper summarizes an example of how computational fluid dynamics can be used for this purpose.
