    Hydraulics Lab PRACTICE 16. Characteristics of Flow Over A Dam Spillway Objective

    This document provides instructions for a hydraulics lab practice to observe flow patterns over different dam spillway designs. Students are asked to place different dam spillway structures in a flume and vary the water flow rate over three stages for each design, recording the flow rate and upstream and downstream water levels. They then sketch the observed flow patterns at each stage and elevation of logs added to the flume. In their report, students will record their measurements, sketch and describe the observed flow patterns, and comment on the effectiveness of different spillway designs at dissipating the kinetic energy of water flow.

    PRACTICE 16. Characteristics of Flow over a Dam Spillway
    Objective:
    To observe flow patterns associated with the flow of water over a dam spillway
    Procedure
    Ensure the flume is level, with no stop logs at the discharge end of the channel. Place
    the dam spillway in the flume as shown in the figures below. The flowrate over each
    version of the dam spillway should be varied in stages, by adjusting the flow control
    valve, and at each stage the flow pattern should be observed and sketched, recording
    the flowrate, and upstream and downstream water levels. Add logs and repeat the
    procedure. For each dam spillway do 3 flowrates with 2 logs elevations each.(9
    measurements for each dam spillway.

    Report
    1. Report the flow rate, upstream and downstream water levels recorded.
    2. For each measurement note and sketch the flow pattern (i.e. which stage are you
    observing?
    3. Comment on these different methods of dissipating the kinetic energy of the water.
    Which method is the most effective?
    1
