Optimization of Dzaudzhikau HPP settling basin and water spillway structures based on experimental hydraulic research and mathematic simulation
The article presents the results of studies for justification of intermittent flushing settling basin structure. Hydraulic calculations and experimental research were performed on a 1:7 scale partial model. Recommendations were drawn up for optimal settling basin structure and its operating modes. Computational 3D modeling was executed for open spillway operating modes. Optimization of spillway overflow surface profile was recommended.
