Comprehensive numerical simulations of sediment transport and flushing of a Peruvian reservoir

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in reservoirs, especially for sudden events such as flushing, is still a challenging research topic. In the present study, sediment transport and sediment flushing are simulated for a Peruvian reservoir. Situated in the Peruvian Andes, the watershed is affected by high erosion rates and the river carries high amounts of suspended sediment whose estimated...

Hydraulics characteristics of tipping sediment flushing gate.

This paper highlights a preliminary study on the potential of a tipping flush gate to be used in an open storm drain to remove sediment. The investigation was carried out by using a plasboard model of the tipping flush gate installed in a rectangular flume. A steady flow experiment was carried out to determine the discharge coefficients and also the outflow relationship of the tipping flush gat...

One dimensional simulation of flushing sediment through reservoirs

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...
