Cavitation in Outlet Conduits of High Dams
Occurrence of severe cavitation damage to the concrete surfaces of the outlet conduits of the Madden Dam, in the Panama Canal Zone, supplied the incentive to carry on extensive studies by means of laboratory models to investigate the cavitation potentialities, if any, in the conduits of the Tygart River Dam, near Grafton, W. Va., and to develop methods of eliminating or minimizing future damage in the conduits of the Madden Dam. Similar studies, on a less elaborate scale, were conducted in connection with the design of the Bluestone Dam in West Virginia, Hiwassee Dam in North Carolina, and Redbank Creek Dam in Pennsylvania.
