The Ideal

Hydraulic jump type II stilling basin is generally preferred as an energy dissipator for ogee spillway but it is uneconomical due to longer structure. On the other hand, roller bucket uses relatively shorter structure over a sloping apron or horizontal stilling basin. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the performance of an ogee profile stepped spillway in combination with solid roller bucket and stilling basin type II for energy dissipation. Laboratory experiments are performed on a physical working model of ogee profile stepped spillway at discharge ranging from 0.0032 to 0.0069 m3 /s for a head of 1.5m, 4m & 7m and the results compared for energy dissipation (non-dimensional parameter (y c / h) = 0.69). The model results show that stepped spillway model without v-notch achieves 92.40 % energy dissipation. Thus this model is found to be more suitable to acquire the ideal condition of sequent depth and tail water depth in stilling basin for all the discharges.

Stilling Basins

The study of the hydraulic jump developed in stilling basins is complex to a high degree due to the intense velocity and pressure fluctuations and the significant air entrainment. It is this complexity, bound to the practical interest in stilling basins for energy dissipation purposes, which brings the importance of physical modeling into the spotlight. However, despite the importance of stilling basins in engineering, bibliographic studies have traditionally focused on the classical hydraulic jump. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the characteristics of the hydraulic jump in a typified USBR II stilling basin, through a physical model. The free surface profile and the velocity distribution of the hydraulic jump developed within this structure were analyzed in the model. To this end, an experimental campaign was carried out, assessing the performance of both, innovative techniques such as the time-of-flight camera and traditional instrumentation like the Pitot tube. The results showed a satisfactory representation of the free surface profile and the velocity distribution, despite some discussed limitations. Furthermore, the instrumentation employed revealed the important influence of the energy dissipation devices on the flow properties. In particular, relevant differences were found for the hydraulic jump shape and the maximum velocity positions within the measured vertical profiles, when compared to classical hydraulic jumps.

Key Factor

The depth of the stilling basin with shallow-water cushion (SBSWC) is a key factor that affects the flow regime of hydraulic jump in the basin. However, the specific depth at which the water cushion is considered as ‘shallow’ has not been stated clearly by far, and only conceptual description is provided. Therefore, in order to define the best depth of SBSWC and its relationship between the Froude number at the inlet of the stilling basin, a large number of experiments were carried out to investigate SBSWC. First of all, 30 cases including five different Froude numbers and six depths were selected for which large eddy simulation (LES) was firstly verified by the experiments and then adopted to calculate the hydraulic characteristics in the stilling basin. Finally, three standards, based on the flow regime of hydraulic jump, the location of the main stream and the energy dissipation rate, were proposed to define the best depth of SBSWC. The three criteria are as follows: (1) a complete hydraulic jump occurs in the basin (2) the water cushion is about 1/10–1/3 deep of the stilling basin, and (3) the energy dissipation rate is more than 70% and the unit volume energy dissipation rate is as high as possible. It showed that the best depth ratio of SBSWC (depth to length ratio) was between 0.1 and 0.3 and it also indicated the best depth increased with the increase in Froude number. The results of the work are of significance to the design and optimizing of SBSWC.

Abstract Flow conditions on overflow systems can result in construction failure, mainly due to the high flow energy. Stilling basin at downstream of the spillway is useful for reducing flow energy. It can reduce the destructive force of water flow. Controlling the hydraulic jump is an important part that includes the jump’s energy, length, and height. The physical hydraulic model was carried out with several series, by making a series of bottom lowering of horizontal and USBR II stilling basin. The experimental study is expected to represent flow behavior in the overflow system regarding flow conditions and energy dissipation. Based on the analytical calculation of flow velocity, the amount of flow energy that occurs at each control point is calculated. The control points are the starting point of the spillway, the chute way toe, and flow depth after the hydraulic jump. The energy loss can be calculated for each control point, while the efficiency of energy dissipation on stilling basin is calculated at the downstream flow depth after the hydraulic jump. Velocity calculated by dividing discharge per unit width by water depth which is based on the flow depth measurement data in the hydraulic model.

The stilling basin has been one of the most powerful hydraulic structures for the dissipation of the flow energy. Meshfree and particle methods have special advantages in modeling incompressible flows with free surfaces. In this paper, an integrated smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is developed to model energy dissipation process of stilling basins. The integrated SPH includes the kernel gradient correction (KGC) technique, the dynamic solid boundary treatment, [Formula: see text]-SPH model and density reinitialization. We first conducted the simulations of dam-breaking and hydraulic jump to validate the accuracy of the present method. The present simulation results agree well with the experimental observations and numerical results from other sources. Then the discharge process of stilling basin with baffle-blocks is simulated with the integrated SPH. It is demonstrated that the detailed discharge process can be well captured by this method. The energy dissipation effect of stilling basin could be significantly improved by the baffle-blocks. The structure and position of the baffle-block directly affect the energy dissipation effect, while the height of the baffle-block has big influence on the drainage capacity.
