An application of the weakly compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (WSPH) numerical method is presented here for the case of two-dimensional flow in a long channel with a partially open sluice gate. The results are compared with an analytical solution provided by shallow water equations (SWE) and available experimental data. Of particular interest is the application of this numerical method to a sluice gate case with a high ratio of channel length to depth, which tends to amplify the effects of the chosen numerical resolution. Good model congruence was observed even for relatively low vertical resolution, and the effects of the equations used to describe the boundary conditions were identified.
