Hydraulic Model Studies Ridgway Dam Outlet Works

P. H. Burgi

This report summarizes the results of the hydraulic model study of the inclined selective level intake structure for the Ridgway Dam outlet works. The model study was conducted to determine if subatmospheric pressures capable of producing cavitation damage would occur in the intake structure. The results apply to the Ridgway Dam structure. However, flow conditions at the multilevel tee intersections and in the 170 degrees mitered bend at the base of the inclined intake structure may be applicable to similar structures.
