Abstract In this study, we modified and applied an open source CFD software package, the TELEMAC, to simulate sediment transport and bed morphology around Gangjeong Weir on Nakdong River in Korea. The simulations have been carried out with the real river bathymetry and the weir geometry, and for different operation scenarios of the weir. The hydrodynamic parameters and bed evolutions obtained from the numerical results have been validated against field observation data. Particularly, the scour depth has been verified against the results obtained from a well-known empirical formula. Agreement between numerical computations, observed data and empirical formulas is judged to be satisfactory on all major comparisons. This study is not only to point out the locations where deposition and erosion taken place due to the weir gate operation, but also to analyze the mechanism of formation and evolution of scour holes after the weir gates.
