A Lei 12334/2010, que estabelece a Política Nacional de Segurança de Barragens, exige a elaboração dos Planos de Segurança de Barragem. A exigência desses planos fez surgir a necessidade de avaliação do possível rompimento de barragens em nível nacional. Para a modelagem de ruptura no estado do Ceará, é importante considerar a densa rede de reservatórios existente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a elaboração de estudos preliminares de ruptura de barragens em cascata, notadamente em regiões semiáridas, que possam subsidiar a elaboração de planos de contingência e estudos de mitigação de riscos. Utilizou-se o software HEC-RAS a partir da topografia extraída de um MDE com imagens SRTM para gerar os mapas de inundação. A comparação entre a área inundada obtida com o HEC-RAS e com o método simplificado MS-20S mostrou que, ao contrário do esperado, o resultado obtido pelo HEC-RAS forneceu valores mais elevados em virtude do efeito cumulativo do rompimento das barragens. Palavras-chave: Ruptura de barragem. Simulação. Efeito cascata.
This paper presents experimental studies to explore the behavior of upward water jets in granular beds. The test conditions included both the cavity and chimney regime. Combining our results with data available in the literature, it was possible to fit a linear relationship to describe the dimensionless upward water velocity at the bed surface (u/U) as a function of kFr, in which Fr is the Froude number and k is a fitting parameter that was linearly related with the medium particle diameter d. A threshold condition (kFr = 1) was also proposed to predict the onset of the chimney regime, which was consistent with published data. Finally, a simple equation based on d, D and H was derived to predict the real-scale leakage flow rate Q from upward water jets bursting at the ground. The results obtained will potentially help water utilities estimate the water loss from underground pipelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
