Sediment deposition in the pumping station has a huge negative impact on unit operation. 3-D CFD method was used to simulate pumping station inlet structure flow based on Eulerian solid-liquid two-phase flow model. Numerical results of preliminary scheme show that sediment deposition occurs in the forebay of pumping station because of poor flow pattern therein. In order to improve hydraulic configuration in the forebay, one modified measure was reconstructing water diversion weir shape, and another measure was setting a water retaining sill in the approach channel. The simulation results of modified scheme prove that back flow in the forebay was eliminated and sediment deposition region was also reduced greatly.
