Two-equation model for turbulent flow and volume of fluid method for free surface is applied to numerically simulate the 3D flow at radial gate region with sudden lateral enlargement and bottom drop in the outlet of pressured spillway tunnel. The hydraulic properties including the pattern of both bottom and lateral cavity, water wing on the side-wall and pressure distributions, are obtained. Air entrainment induced by vortex formed by the impact of diffused flow is explored and backflow feature in the bottom cavity is studied too. The comparison shows that there is reasonably good agreement between the physical and numerical models. The availability and power of existing numerical methods provides engineers with another tool in the design and analysis of complex flow at radial gate region with sudden lateral enlargement and bottom drop in the outlet of pressured spillway tunnel.
