In this study was evaluated the hydraulic performance of Gallito Ciego Dam spillway with the numerical model FLOW-3D, which is an advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. In the first stage of this study, the Jequetepeque River flood flows were updated using hydrological information provided by The Special Project Jequetepeque - Zaña. The inflow hydrographs to reservoir were calculated for different return periods, these hydrographs were subsequently routed applying the level pool routing method, thereby obtaining the reservoir outflow hydrographs. It was determined that the spillway design flood (1,630.00 m3/s), associated with a return period of 2,000 years, was less than updated design flood (2,011.48 m3/s) for the same return period. Actually, the spillway design flood was not related with a return period of 2,000 years, but to 776 years; this means that Gallito Ciego Dam lacks hydrologic safety. In the second stage of this study, the computational domain of spillway was constructed and modeled with FLOW-3D software. The numerical simulation of spillway flow began with the calibration of FLOW-3D model using water depth data measured at five equidistant points located along the spillway. Once the numerical model was calibrated, the hydraulic performance of spillway was evaluated for each of the following flood flows: 525.0 m3/s (El Niño phenomenon 1997/98), 1,630.0 m3/s (project design flood) y 2,011.48 m3/s (updated design flood). The results of numerical modeling show that real discharge capacity of spillway is insufficient to evacuate the project design flood, and even less the updated design flood with a return period of 2,000 years. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the design flow of the spillway and propose structural improvement measures, in order to safeguard the hydrological safety of the dam.
