Response characteristics of plunge pool slabs of Xiaxiluodu Hydropower deformation conditions

The key problem of the energy dissipation scheme of the arch dam body flood discharge and plunge pool below the dam is the stability problem of the plunge pool slab.As the protection structure of the underwater bed,the plunge pool slab bears the continuous impact of high-speed water flow.The hourly average dynamic water pressure on the slab is one of the main loads directly affecting the stability of the slab and is the main factor causing its erosion destruction.After the impoundment of the Xiluodu Hydropower Station,the measuring line of valley width in the plunge pool area has been continuously shrinking.By 2020,the cumulative shrinking value is about 80 mm.In light of the general background condition of valley shrinkage,daily inspection,annual detailed inspection,underwater inspection and drainage inspection of the plunge pool found that the plunge pool has experienced different degrees of damage,which greatly influences the long-term safety stability of the plunge pool.In this paper,the prototype observation data of flood discharge is used as the input load of pulsatingpressure,and the stress and displacement distribution of the plunge pool structure under the vibration load of flood discharge is analyzed under the condition that the stress and strain state of the plunge pool is changed under the influence of valley displacement.The results show that the stress,strain,and displacement distribution of the plunge pool are mainly caused by valley deformation,the vibration caused by flood discharge is little in influence,and the impact effect of deep hole flood discharge tongue on the plunge pool slab is weak.

折线大斜切挑坎水力特性研究

斜切挑坎多被用于泄水建筑物轴线与天然河道互成夹角的工程。然而,当下游河道过于狭窄时,斜切挑坎无法满足水流归槽及消能防冲的要求。为此,在斜切挑坎的基础上提出折线大斜切挑坎。通过模型试验的方法,测量不同折线大斜切挑坎体型在不同来流条件下,挑射水流的扩散情况和下游水垫塘内的底板压力分布,以研究折线大斜切挑坎的水力特性。结果表明:相较于传统斜切挑坎,折线大斜切挑坎既可以实现对挑流水舌水量和入水范围的灵活调整,也可以缓解水垫塘压力分布的不均匀现象。研究结果可为折线大斜切挑坎的工程设计和应用提供一定的参考。

A new type of plunge pool―Multi-horizontal submerged jets

Based on the understanding of the mechanism of energy dissipation,a new type of plunge pool is presented with the advantages of high rate of energy dissipation,low impact pressure,and small close-to-bed velocity on the soleplate of the plunge pool.The first advantage owes to enlarged shearing energy dissipation areas in the plunge pool,while the other two are caused by the jet that enters in a nearly horizontal level to keep the soleplate from being scoured directly.All of the above arrangements make this new type of energy dissipator distinct from the underflow energy dissipation.Through experiments on the physical model,the authors found that the water flow maintained stable and submerged in horizontal direction when the flow was narrow in horizontal but thick in vertical direction.However,the wide flat nappe was ready to submerge or float as the downstream water level rised or dropped.The entire flow fields of multi-horizontal submerged jets into plunge pool were also numerically simulated.The numerical results of water surface curve,close-to-bed velocity and floor pressure agree well with the experimental data.The flow pattern in the plunge pool was analyzed after combining the laboratory data and numerical simulation.

Safety evaluation and the static-dynamic coupling analysis of counter-arched slab in plunge pool

The stability of plunge pool slab of drainage structure is crucial to energy dissipation,but the working conditions of counter-arched slab are very complex and its stress procedure is considerably nonlinear and coupling.Therefore,a nonlinear static and dynamic coupling method to analyze the counter-arched slab configuration is put forward,which can reflect the coupling of dynamic loads,slab,anchor bars,groundwork and abutment as well as the dynamic procedure of instability.Various nonlinear factors and static-dynamic coupling are taken into consideration,and the working conditions,stress mechanism,dynamic instability procedure and influential instability factors are revealed.The proposed method thus provides a comprehensive safety evaluation method of plunge pool,which further pro-vides an important theoretical basis for engineering design of counter-arched slab in plunge pool.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF 3-D TURBULENT FLOWS OF PLUNGE POOL AND ENERGY DISSIPATION ANALYSIS

By studying on the characteristics of turbulent diffusion and energy dissipation,the calculated results show that the major turbulence and energy dissipation are taken place near the axis of water jet. The calculated results also indicated that the calculated maximum impact pressures on the bottom wall of the plunge pool have a good agreement with those obtained by physical hydraulic model test.

Effects of plunge pool configuration on downstream passage survival of juvenile blueback herring

Anadromous alosines are widespread throughout the Northern Hemisphere.Juveniles of this clade are notoriously fragile animals that are at high risk of injury and death associated with passage at hydroelectric facilities.Although turbine mortality is a common concern,conditions encountered when bypassed around these routes may also be hazardous.Downstream bypass structures typically discharge into plunge pools,which are highly turbulent and may cause mechanical injury.We subjected live,actively migrating juvenile blueback herring to a suite of realistic plunge pool conditions(3 m drop,pool depth of 60-180 cm,and discharge of 0.28-1.70 m^(3)/s)and monitored them for≥96 h.Survival was generally higher than expected(>80%in all cases).However,both plunge pool volume and total discharge affected survival with elevated discharge and shallow conditions associated with increased mortality.Mortality was often delayed:rates remained elevated throughout the monitoring period,indicating that survival studies based on shorter periods underestimate total mortality.
