Energy dissipation
As water passes over a spillway and down the chute, potential energy converts into increasing kinetic energy. Failure to dissipate the water’s energy can lead to scouring and erosion at the dam’s toe (base). This can cause spillway damage and undermine the dam’s stability. The energy can be dissipated by addressing one or more parts of a spillway’s design.
Steps – First, on the spillway surface itself by baffles and/or steps along the spillway.
Flip bucket – Second, at the base of a spillway, a flip bucket can create a hydraulic jump and deflect water upwards.
Ski jump – A ski jump can also direct water horizontally and eventually down into a plunge pool or two ski jumps can direct their water discharges to collide with one another.
Stilling basin – Third, a stilling basin at the terminus of a spillway serves to further dissipate energy and prevent erosion. They are usually filled with a relatively shallow depth of water and sometimes lined with concrete. A number of velocity-reducing components can be incorporated into the their design to include chute blocks, baffle blocks, wing walls, surface boils or an end sill.
