A first level of analysis involves the use of classical semi‐empirical techniques available from hydraulics. A second level of analysis involves the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), in an effort to reduce the uncertainties associated with the use of the aforementioned techniques. This work also focuses on reducing the impact of side flows for navigation through locks, associated with the operation of the side drainage structure. Different alternatives for safe navigation are proposed, and studied using CFD. ER -
