This paper presents the state-of-the-art on methods to estimate rock scour due to the
im**ement of plunging high velocity water jets. The following topics are addressed …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

Rectangular jet, or nappe flow, constitutes one of the energy dissipation methods used in the
overtop** of dams. This paper reports new laboratory data on pressures, velocities and air …

The scouring process in a plunge pool of loose bed with uniform bed-materials due to a two-
dimensional plane im**ing jet was simulated computationally. The finite-element-based …

This paper presents the experimental results of dynamic pressure measurements at
simulated plunge pool bottoms and underlying rock joints, due to plunging high velocity jet …

In simulation of closely-or separately-joined rock masses, stability of rock blocks is of primary
concern. However, there seems to be no approach that can handle general modes of …

Block Stability in 3 Dimensions (BS3D) is an incremental-iterative algorithm and code to
analyse general failure modes of rock blocks subjected to generic forces, including non …

Hydrodynamic pressures on a plunge pool floor due to submerged aerated jets are of
interest in many engineering fields. For the present study, dynamic pressures on a deep …

Predicting the accurate hydrodynamic pressure at plunge pool bottoms due to the impact of
plunging high-velocity jets is essential in assessing the stability of the bed rock blocks and …

Spillways are a requirement for dams' safety, mainly preventing overtop** during floods. A
common spillway solution involves plunging jets, which dissipate a considerable flow …
