Plunging Circular Jets: Experimental Characterization of Dynamic Pressures Near the Stagnation Zone
Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Gregoire Aurelien Marie Jamet
Spillways are a requirement for dams’ safety, mainly preventing overtopping during floods. A common spillway solution involves plunging jets, which dissipate a considerable flow energy in the plunge pool. Energy dissipation has to occur in a controlled man ...
2022Overflow pressure characterization in lined plunge pools for slab sizing
Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Francisca Marco Cutillas
This study presents an experimental work on dynamic pressures at the bottom of a lined plunge pool that receives overflow rectangular impinging jets and aims at improving the design criteria for pool slabs. The experiments were conducted in a fairly large ...
International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR)2022Swiss Potential for Hydropower Generation and Storage - Synthesis report
François Avellan, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Martin Schmid, Paolo Burlando, David Felix
Hydropower (HP) is the backbone of the Swiss electricity system providing around 60 % (36 TWh/a) of the total electricity generated on a yearly average. With the planned phase-out of nuclear power plants, HP and other Renewable Energy Sources (RES) will ne ...
