The discharge coefficient of morning glory spillway is decreased with eddies created by vortex at the inlet part of weir. However, a series of specific blades can reduce vortices which result in the spillway efficiency is increased. Hence, in this research numerical modeling of installed breaker blade on morning glory spillway was evaluated using Flow-3D model. To achieve these purposes, morning glory spillway was modeled without and with blades 3, 4 and 6 blades at 45 degree angle. To simulate the turbulence fluctuations, the modified k-e model (RNG k-e) was used and its results were compared to the experimental data. Results showed that by installing blades, the discharge coefficient increases up to 42 percent with 25 percent decreasing in the upstream water level. Moreover, among the three different arrangements of blades, the six-blade model was found to have more satisfactory results than other models. In comparison to control model, for H/D between 0 to 0.1 and 0.1 to 0.2 the discharge coefficient has been increased 40 and 57 percent for six-blade arrangement, respectively.
