Energy Dissipators
CO5: Explain and Design energy dissipation devices.

1 Write a short note on energy dissipation work below spillways.

2 What are the factors that affect design of energy Dissipators?
3 What are the different types of energy Dissipators?
4 Why is energy Dissipators provided?
5 Discuss various types of energy dissipation devices used below
spillways in relation to the positions of the tail-water rating curve
(TWRC) and jump height curve (JHC).
6 What is a stilling basin? Describe with neat sketches different
types of stilling basins.
7 Describe with neat sketches the various types of bucket type
energy Dissipators.
8 An ogee type spillway has 2.5m head above crest. Depth of flow at
the toe of the spillways is 0.6m. assume coefficient C as 2.16,
compute
(i) The discharge per meter length of spillway
(ii) Prejump velocity at the toe
(iii) Prejump Froude number of the flow
(iv) Conjugate depth required for hydraulic jump
If the actual tail-water depth is 4.5m, what type of energy
dissipater would you provide? Give the approximate length and
floor level of the dissipating structure
