In the present study, 2D modeling of the flow pattern around a spur dike in a straight canal with 6m length and 0.45m width is presented. Also the finite element method is utilized for solving the differential equations. Modeling of the turbulent flow around a single spur dike is performed using k- model in 𝜺 ANSYS software and the results were compared to those of the experimental study. The results show that the finite element method, by incorporating the k- model, models the flow pattern around the spur dike well and yields an average error value 𝜺 of 12.57%, and this shows a good agreement between the numerical modeling results and those of the experimental study.
