The PLTU Lontar Extension Project (1x315 MW) is a national strategic project being built by PT. PLN (Persero). stage currently in the commissioning phase but hampered indications of sedimentation occurring at intake mouth area ??the Circulating Water System. There are due to high head loss between and upstream box culvert which has an impact on inhibiting flow seawater entering canal. existence...

Hydraulic Energy dissipators are devices to protect downstream areas of basin from erosion by reducing the velocity of flow up to an acceptable limit. The stilling basins are transition structures fabricated to dissipate excess energy confined by flow with high velocity at the outlet of conduit or tunnel so that the flow beyond the basin does not threaten the firmness of bed and banks of downst...

Hydraulics is the branch of civil engineering related to the science of water in motion, and the interactions between the fluid and the surrounding environment. It is shown that hydraulic engineers were at the forefront of science for centuries. The end of the 20th century marked a change of perception in our society for hydraulic engineering. Is there a need for further hydraulic engineering ?...

With the rapid development of water transportation industry in China, scale ships navigating inland waterway is increasing. However, head formed by dams very high, especially for hydroelectric projects constructed upper mountain river. Therefore, it critically urgent to build several high-head and large-scale locks. Moreover, when increased 60 m, huge energy could be generated then introduced i...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) method for sizing small detention and retention basins is a volume-based approach that is sensitive to the release rate. In practice, such a release rate is often approximated by open channel hydraulics or culvert hydraulics. Without a consistent guideline, this practice of approximation can result in significant discrepancy or violation of the volume b...
