High wind speedandloudnoise usually occur in the hydropower station spillway tunnel, which will impact the producing environment of operators. In this paper, k - e turbulent model and VOF modelwere combinedto simulate wind speed and the volume of ventilated airin ventilation holeandthreeaeratorsin the spillway tunnel on the right bank of a hydropower station in China. The results show thatVOF modelcan well simulate ventilated air induced by water drag, andthe volume of ventilated air in ventilation hole is the largest.Wind speed distribution on the longitudinal sectionof the inlet of ventilation hole is non-uniform,and loud noisewill occurthere. Wind speed on the left side of three aerators is higher than that on the right side. The results of the volume of ventilated airin threeaerators simulated by VOF modelare credible, but we should improve the VOF model to more accurately simulate aerated flow.
