Model Study of the Spillway and Tunnel for Dorena Dam, Row River, Oregon

Abstract

The model study of the Spillway and Tunnel for Dorena Dam was conducted at the Bonneville Hydraulic Laboratory, Bonneville, Oregon. The general purpose of this study was to determine by means of a 1-to-50 scale model the hydraulic characteristics of the originally-designed spillway, stilling basin, and outlet works of Dorena Dam and to develop satisfactory alternate designs for any of the features found to be hydraulically inadequate.
