Sidewall Forces on Richard B. Russell Flip Bucket Spillway, Savannah River; Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
The Richard B. Russell flip bucket energy dissipator and the powerhouse tailrace are separated by a concrete wall to reduce lateral flow. The physical hydraulic model investigation was primarily concerned with providing design information relative to the magnitude, frequency, and location of the resultant dynamic loading acting on the flip bucket sidewall located between the powerhouse and spillway for various discharges. Tests were also conducted to determine the upper nappe trajectory for the maximum anticipated spillway discharge and the minimum height of flip bucket sidewall required. (Author)
