Force imposée sur un râtelier en amont d’un évacuateur de crue par des bois flottants, et concept pour favoriser le passage des bois flottants

Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Loïc Bénet

L’obstruction de l’évacuateur de crue d’un barrage par des bois flottants peut réduire sa capacité hydraulique. Pour limiter cet effet, un râtelier peut être installé pour retenir les bois en amont de la section critique d’écoulement. Sur la base d’une mod ...
