BELOW SPILLWAY
CHAPTER -1
ENERGY DISSIPATION BELOW
SPILLWAY
• Water flowing over a spillway acquires a lot of kinetic energy
because of the conversion of the potential energy into kinetic
energy.
• If the water flowing with such a velocity is discharged into kinetic
energy.
• If the water flowing with such a high velocity is discharged into
river it will
scour the river bed.
• If the scour is not properly controlled, it may extend
backward and may endanger the spillway and the dam.
• In order to protect the channel bed against scour, the kinetic
energy of the water should be dissipated before it is discharged
into the d/s channel.
• For the dissipation of the excessive kinetic energy of water, the
following two methods are commonly adopted.
1. By developing a hydraulic jump
2. By using different types of buckets

HYDRAULIC
JUMP
• Hydraulic jump is the sudden rise of water that takes
place when the flow changes from supercritical flow
state to the subcritical state.
• When a stream of water moving with a high velocity and
low depth strikes another stream of water moving with
low velocity and high depth, a sudden rise in the surface
of water place.
• This phenomenon is called hydraulic jump.
• This is generally accompanied by a large scale turbulence,
dissipating most of the kinetic energy of supercritical
flow.
• Such a phenomenon may occur in a canal below a

• It may be noted that the depth before the jump is always less than
the depth after the jump.
• The depth before the jump is always less than the depth after the
jump is called the initial depth(y1) and the depth after the jump is
called the sequent depth(y2) .
• In the specific energy diagram, the specific energy is minimum at
point C. this depth of water in the channel, corresponding to the
minimum specific energy ( at point C ) is known as critical depth.
