Survey 4 (1997) Same erosion in same areas as found during the 1986 survey. No specific issues to notice.

As such, numerical computations have first been performed of the air-water flow characteristics along the chute. The water surface line for a 110’000 m3/s is presented in Figure 4. The flow velocity at the lip of the flip bucket equals 27.8 m/s, for a total flow depth of about 8 m. The upstream water level is 75.3 m a.s.l. and the downstream plunge pool water level is at 4.4 m a.s.l. The jet is thus of rectangular shape with a width of 20m and an issuance thickness of 8m. Second, the jet characteristics at impact in the tailwater depth have been defined based on ballistics accounting for air drag. As such, the jet velocity at impact has been computed at 37.9 m/s for an inner jet core diameter of about 6.9 m. Its turbulence intensity has been estimated at 8 % and its air concentration at impact at 40 %, corresponding to very turbulent air-water jets. 80 140 Core of jet Outer limits of turbulent air-water shear layer 120 Cen terline of jet 70 Ta ilwater level downstream 100 Rockbed 80 Elevation (m a.s.l.) 60 50 Vi = 27.8 m/s 40 Flip bucket 60 High-velocity Jet impact 40 20 0 Pre-excavated plunge pool -20 30 -40 -60 20 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 -80 -100 -80 -60 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 Distance (m) Plunge pool diffusion at Tucurui Dam The diffusion of the jet through the pool water depth is presented in Figure 2. Significant spread of the jet is computed, with an outer jet diameter at impact in the pool of about 20m. The jet core vanishes before impacting the plunge pool bottom, corresponding to fully developed jet conditions. 120 140 160 180 200 AquaVision engineering Application of Comprehensive Scour Model Design and consulting in hydraulic, geotechnic and environmental engineering Results of computations Table 2a.- Scour elevations as a function of time duration of flood following a 100’000 m3/s flood event at Tucurui Dam (CSM model) SCOUR ELEVATION COMPUTATIONS Hours 96 192 720 1500 5760 57600 TIME Days Months 4 0.1 8 0.3 30 1.0 62.5 2.1 240 8.0 2400 80.0 Years 0.01 0.02 0.08 0.17 0.67 6.67 BENEF -40.4 -40.4 -40.4 -40.4 -40.4 -41.3 -42.6 -47.5 CFM AVER -53.6 -53.6 -54.3 -54.9 -56.4 -59.2 CONS -61.6 -62.6 -64.1 -65.0 -67.2 -74.3 CONS -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 -93.9 DI AVER AVER -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 -78.9 BENEF BENEF -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 -63.2 Table 2b.- Scour elevations as a function of time duration of flood following a 50’000 m3/s flood event at Tucurui Dam (CSM model) SCOUR ELEVATION COMPUTATIONS Hours 96 192 720 1500 5760 57600 TIME Days Months 4 0.1 8 0.3 30 1.0 62.5 2.1 240 8.0 2400 80.0 Years 0.01 0.02 0.08 0.17 0.67 6.67 BENEF -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 CFM AVER -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 CONS -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 -40.6 CONS -45.1 -45.1 -45.1 -45.1 -45.1 -45.1 DI AVER -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 BENEF -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 -40.0 Conclusions 1. 2. 3. 4. Almost no scour formation for 100’000 cms and under beneficial parametric assumptions Small scour forms under average parametric assumptions and for 100’000 cms (10m of scour formation) The laboratory model tests are probably somewhat on the conservative side (25m of socur formation) For a completely broken up rock mass (detached blocks with depth), significant scour would form, however not plausible
