Abstract :Ilisu Dam is one important energy projects in Turkey. After it is completed, it is expected that it will contribute to the country economy approximately $300 million annually. One of the most remarkable engineering designs of the dam is the conversion of diversion tunnels of 12 m in diameter and about 1 km in length into sluice outlet structure. In this study, the CFD simulation of Ilısu Dam sluice outlet were performed with 1/40 scale. The obtained CFD results were compared with physical model observations conducted by the State Water Works insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SWW);. A good agreement was achieved between both results, and some useful results of CFD were presented for design of the outlet.
