    Energy Dissipation: Lecture #4

    Uploaded by

    Mūssā Mūhābā ZēĒthiopiā
    The document discusses different types of energy dissipaters used downstream of structures to reduce water velocity and dissipate hydraulic energy, including stilling basins, jet diffusion basins, and bucket dissipaters. It also covers factors in the design of dissipaters like foundation, flood magnitude, flow velocity, and orientation. The purpose of dissipaters is to convert hydraulic energy into heat with minimal increase in water temperature downstream.

    2. Energy dissipation
    Types of energy dissipaters
    •Energy dissipaters are d/s protection works used to dissipate
    hydraulic energy (convert to heat).

    •The main purpose is reducing the velocity of flow to low enough


    to:
    –Erosion,
    –Abrasion and
    –Generation of tail water waves.
    Types of energy dissipaters

    •Most common energy dissipaters can be classified as below:


    -Hydraulic jump type stilling basin: This can be classified as
    horizontal apron type or sloping apron type.
    -Jet diffusion & free jet stilling basin: These are Jet diffusion
    basin, Free jet stilling basin, Hump stilling basin…etc
    -Bucket type energy dissipaters: These are solid roller bucket
    type, slotted roller bucket type, sky jump bucket type
    (trajectory or shooting or flip).

    Design of energy dissipaters
    • Factors affecting the design of energy dissipaters are:
    – Nature of foundation
    – Magnitude of flood & their occurrence
    – Velocity of flow
    – Orientation of flow
    – Depth discharge and its relationship at the site of
    structure
    Cont’d…

    • If a particle of water falls in to a basin and comes to


    rest, i.e. its entire hydraulic energy is dissipated.
    • Hydraulic/mechanical energy is converted in to heat
    that effects only the particle and not it’s surrounding.
    • The increase in water temperature can be calculated.
    For a fall of 100m it amounts to only 0.240C. This is so
    small that it had no practical significance.
    Cont’d…

    • Energy dissipation at bottom outlets


    • The outlet may terminate below or above the d/s water
    level, with or without an outlet regulating valve at its
    end.
    • The two main design trends are either to disperse
    artificially and to aerate the outflow jets (outflow
    above tail-water with or without control gate at its end)
