La facilidad de las compuertas inflables para adaptarse a distintas condiciones de flujo las hace interesantes para su ubicación en vertederos de presa, permitiendo aumentar el volumen embalsado en explotación ordinaria, y permitiendo el desinflado y restauración de la geometría original en situación extraordinaria. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el efecto de la colocación de una compuerta inflable sobre un aliviadero en lo que respecta a su comportamiento hidráulico. Para ello, se desarrollan un modelo físico y un modelo numérico (CFD) del cuerpo de un aliviadero WES original, incorporándose luego una compuerta EPDM cuyo efecto se analiza para distintos niveles de inflado. Los resultados numéricos y experimentales son similares y ponen de manifiesto variaciones significativas en la distribución de presiones a lo largo del vertedero, siendo determinante la aireación. Este estudio concluye que la colocación de esta compuerta particular tiene un efecto global positivo si se realiza convenientemente, pero se requieren estudios adicionales con diferentes geometrías para profundizar en algunos aspectos negativos.
