Performance and Design of a Stepped Spillway Aerator
Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Stepped spillways are frequently limited to specific discharges under around 30 m2/s due to concerns about potential cavitation damages. A small air concentration can prevent such damages and the design of bottom aerators is well established for smooth chu ...
2022Hydraulic performance of stepped spillway aerators and related downstream flow features
Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Roller compacted concrete gravity dams are built since several decades. In combination with such dams, stepped spillways are very often used as efficient flood release structures. More recently stepped spillways are also excavated into rock along the abutm ...
EPFL-LCH2016Hydraulic performance of stepped spillway aerators and related downstream flow features
Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
To protect spillways against cavitation damage, adding a small air concentration to the flow close to the invert is efficient. Aerator performance on smooth chutes was therefore well studied in terms of air entrainment and downstream air concentration deve ...
EPFL2016Effect of deflector aerator on stepped spillway flow
Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Systematic physical model tests are performed on a stepped spillway equipped with a bottom aerator at the beginning of the stepped part. A deflector is used to issue a jet in order to initiate air entrainment into the flow. A horizontal slot located in the ...
2016Case study – Delta restoration at a steep river mouth
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
The mouth of the Baye de Clarens torrent in Switzerland is currently constrained by lateral training walls, sequent sills and a bridge with a low hydraulic capacity. Due to a bed load trap upstream, few sediments reach the mouth. To improve flood protectio ...
IAHR2015Impact du retrait glaciaire et adaptation du potentiel hydroélectrique dans les Alpes suisses
Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri, Frédéric Jordan, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Le réchauffement climatique est une réalité alarmante et conduit probablement à une augmentation de la pression sur les systèmes socio‑économiques. Cependant, dans les régions de haute‑montagne, il pourrait induire l’opportunité d’adapter des aménagements ...
Edp Sciences S A2015Comparison of chute aerator effect on stepped and smooth spillways
Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Bottom chute aerators are installed to prevent cavitation damages and they have been studied in detail on smooth spillways. In parallel, stepped spillways became widespread in the past decades. Research has shown that stepped spillways may be endangered ev ...
2015Optimization of a Shared Tailrace Channel of Two Pumped-Storage Plants by Physical and Numerical Modeling
Giovanni De Cesare, Martin Peter Bieri, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier, Sylvain Candolfi
Pump and turbine operations lead to head losses in the tailrace channel. Pumping discharge may be limited due to potential air entrainment into the pump shaft when the downstream reservoir is at its lowest level and the head losses are too high. Regarding ...
2014Surge Wave Propagation in a Common Tailrace Channel for Two Large Pumped-Storage Plants
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Martin Peter Bieri, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier
Sudden starting and stopping of turbines and pumps lead to highly unsteady flow in tailrace channels of hydropower plants (HPP). Submergence of Pelton turbines and air entrainment in pumps due to surge waves must be avoided by technical measures. The exist ...
Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers2014Multiple criteria design analysis of a compensation basin to mitigate hydro-pealink
Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier, Felix Oberrauch
Hydropeaking is a major issue for storage hydropower plants. Hydropeaking can affect negatively the aquatic environment along river streams. For several hydropower plants studies which analyse measures to reduce the surge effect are currently under prepara ...
