Abstract: Spillway is an important component of the storage structure, meant to discharge excess amount of water in the reservoir. It also acts as a measure to control floods and protect the structure from overtopping and failure. For the safety of the structure, an appropriate energy dissipator is provided at the toe of the spillway. Of many alternatives, a flip buclet is often provided as a energy dissipater and its design plays a significant role. The design involves an accurate estimation of various parameters viz., trajectory jet velocity, angle of throw, length and height of the trajectory jet. The present study was carried out to analytically estimate the design parameters and compare them with the ANSYS-CFD simulation results. A new equation is proposed by means of user-defined function, based on the macro generated VOF -multiphase analysis. The analytical results estimated by the proposed equations were observed to have a good consonance with the simulation results having a variation less than 5%.
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.
