Effects of Different Shaped Baffle Blocks on the Energy Dissipation and the Downstream Scour of a Regulator
Abstract
The
scouring problem caused by the flow movement in the downstream areas of
hydraulic structures is an issue that keeps its actuality. In order to prevent
these scouring to occur in the downstream, various typed energy dissipaters are
placed on the downstream of the hydraulic structures. Factors such as sediment
type, the velocity of the stream, and flow regime play an important role in
scouring. In order to prevent scouring, the flow’s energy must be dissipated
before meeting the sediment. In this study, it is aimed to reduce the amount of
scour occurred at the downstream of the weir by using energy dissipaters with
different geometries. The flow and scouring events on the weir were modeled in
two dimensions using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The findings were
compared for different downstream conditions and the results were discussed in
this respect.
