| Title | Risk of Entrapment at Low-Head Dams |
| Creator | Olsen, Riley J. Johnson, Michael C. Barfuss, Steve L. |
| Description | This study examines the dangerous countercurrent that can form at the downstream face of a low-head dam for certain flow conditions, utilizing computational fluid dynamics software and laboratory observations. The objective of this project was to identify easily measured parameters that can be used to accurately distinguish between the possible high-risk and low-risk states of flow. The research was carried out on two common low-head dam shapes (ogee-crested and flat-topped) and three dam... |
