Irrotational Flow over Ogee Spillway Crest: New Solution Method and Flow Geometry Analysis
A spillway is a hydraulic structure of major importance in dam safety, and its current analysis usually involves a hybrid approach combining CFD modeling with experimental research, either using well-known WES design charts or conducting new model experiments in the laboratory. Flow over spillway crests involves fluid accelerations, making irrotationality an adequate simplification of the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations. However, an efficient tool using this method is currently lacking for spillway flow, particularly for ogee spillway flow. This work focuses on this aspect of the problem, and a new method for computing irrotational flow solutions over ogee spillways is proposed by developing flow net computational solutions. The proposed method entails a new iterative procedure in the complex potential plane where free surface pressures are exactly set to zero, contrary to other methods, and an automatic determination of the critical point, the unknown energy head, and the free surface profile. The model generates solutions efficiently in only a few seconds on a personal workstation, permitting a fast estimate of spillway flow operation, and is thus an effective complement to experimental and NS-CFD modeling. The solutions produced are compared with observations of a high operational head equal to five times the design head of the ogee crest, resulting in reasonable agreement. The application of the new model to investigate the limitations of analytical equations used in spillway flow, like Jaeger’s theory, establishes limits for its use by relating its curvature parameter to the spillway chute slope.
