Although field observations of sudden spillway releases highlighted strong aeration of dam break wave flows, no study investigated these two-phase flow characteristics. New original experiments were conducted down a 24 m long stepped waterways. Dam break wave propagation showed an equivalent flow resistance similar to steady flow conditions (f ~ 0.05). Detailed unsteady air-water flow measureme...

in this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...

Overflow spillways are essential structures of dam projects, releasing surplus flood water to ensure safety. The discharge capacity these depends mainly on their geometry; the mos...

in this paper we investigate the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the shahghasem dam’s spillway. shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in yasouj, in southwest of iran. a significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. the foundation is marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and p...

ABSTRACT During voluntary or involuntary spills, the total dissolved gas (TDG) may increase with potential of causing bubble disease (GBD) in affected fish. Bubbles entrained during spill events Colider are transported by plunging jets to deep, high pressure, regions tailrace where dissolution is enhanced increasing TDG concentrations. The most common alternative minimize supersaturation downst...

objective: different categories are available for estimating of radiation dose. radioisotopes with the same energy and almost the same physical properties have similar effects. monte carlo technique is a computerized method based on mathematical simulation of physical processes. the main purpose of this study is to show that beta particles are not able to penetrate deep into the water. also dif...

Stilling basins are designed to reduce the high kinetic energy of supercritical flow in a downstream spillway. The USBR II stilling basin is distinguished by chute blocks fixed at upstream end and dented sill end, allowing for effective dissipation excess energy. This research investigates effect chute-block geometry on hydraulic performance basin. Six modified chute-blocks with identical dimen...
