In this study, the optimum design of the entrance of a fishpond laterally to the main flow of an open channel was investigated numerically and experimentally. The flow characteristic measurements were realized with the PIV (particle image velocimetry) method. The mathematical simulations were based on the development of a two dimensional -mean in depthhydrodynamic model and a quasi three dimensional sediment transport model which includes processes of advection, diffusion, and settling of conservative suspended matter. The study was completed with the comparison of the final results of the mathematical models with the findings of the physical model revealing the hydrodynamic interaction and coupling between the main flow of the channel and the lateral reservoir—fishpond and leading to the optimum technical design of the system.
