Standard stilling basin is provided at the toe of a dam spillway for energy dissipation is usually provided with auxiliary devices like chute blocks and dentated sills for the basic purpose of reducing the length of the stilling basin from about ________________ Correct Answer 6 y2 to 4 y2

In the case of dams and spillways, the jump is steady and the length of the jump is almost constant and is equal to 6 y2 where y2 is the post jump depth. The length of the basin is related to Froude number as the economy in the length of the basin up to about 35% i.e. 4.3 y2 is thus obtained for auxiliary devices.

Which of the following statements are true with regard to energy dissipation below a dam? (i) If the upper conjugate depth of a hydraulic jump is below the tailwater, little energy will be dissipated (ii) An upturned bucket will protect the dam from scour by moving material toward the dam. (iii) A secondary dam may increase tailwater height, thereby causing a hydraulic jump to form at the toe of the main dam. (v) A slopping apron above streambed level may be used to control the hydraulic jump so that it occurs on the apron.
