According to the characteristics of the Mopiling nature-like fishway project and the requirements of fish passing,a three-dimensional turbulent numerical model of fishway pools is established,and the scale of the fishway bottom slope and rest pools is demonstrated. The results show that:1)The vertical slot layout of the fishway can meet the demand of fish upstream. When the bottom slope is 1/250,the maximum velocity of the vertical slot and the bottom hole is 0.90 m/s.2)There is a large range of small flow velocity area in rest pools of different schemes,which can be used for fish upstream rest.3)The range of small velocity areas in rest pools of 20 m pool length scheme is larger than that of 10 m pool length scheme. In addition,it can better meet the needs of fish.
