Abstract
This report will contain the results of modelling a free surface flow to calculate the loss coefficient of the sluice in the barrier of Ostend. These simulations were performed with the open source CFD software OpenFOAM. During the process of computing a free surface flow in OpenFOAM we encountered several problems. These problems were mainly to keep the water level stable at the outflow boundary and to get a good looking flow profile, because we also needed to introduce backflow. These problems were mainly created by the choices of boundary conditions at the outflow boundary. Next to solving these problems, we also made a simulation with a rigid lid condition where we see that the loss coefficient is lower than the value that was found in all the free surface models. At last, a better design of the sluice is proposed that decreases the loss coefficient drastically.
