Results of full-scale and laboratory studies of the spillway of HPP No. 2

In the article, based on the results of field measurements and calculations, recommendations are given for determining the roughness coefficient of the channel of the spillway. Based on the analysis of the literature and field research data, it was recommended to take the roughness coefficient of the channel of the spillway (canal) equal to n = 0.02 - for areas with steep slopes and without sediment deposits, and in areas with the worst condition of concrete surfaces and sediment deposits, take n = 0.0225. According to the results of field surveys of the canal, it was found that the hydraulic regime at the turning section No. 2 in the plan is characterized by an uneven distribution of depths in its cross-sections. This is due to the curvilinearity of the turning section of the channel, which has an unacceptably small radius of curvature in the plan causing centrifugal forces and rising levels along the concave wall, which led to an overflow of water over the top of the channel walls. As a result of the conducted experimental - laboratory studies of the turning section of the outflow tract (channel), recommendations are given for reducing the water incursion on the banks, the height of the walls
