Analysis of spillway hydrodynamics for total dissolved gas prediction downstream of hydropower projects with free, plunging spillway jets

Creator:

Germann, Nathan A.

Abstract:

During spring and early summer hydropower projects are often forced to spill water through their spillways due to increased river flows of the runoff season. Flows which are directed through spillways--instead of through turbines--contain a substantial amount of energy. Stemming from the high energy content, spillway flows entrain air at...
