AB  - Blocks are used at stilling basins to decrease the high flow velocity and dissipate energy at hydraulic
structures. In this study, a comparison between physical and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Model at
stilling basin blocks are conducted. The aim of percent CFD Model is to show the application of the finite
element method for the solution of fluid flow problems. In addition, investigate and validate theoretical work
by ANSYS program solutions with previous experiment results. A free surface (CFD) Model based on the
Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and characteristic of the turbulence k–g Model has been applied. Finally, the
results of physical model and (CFD) have been compared to study whether the results come to a good
agreement.
