Plunging Circular Jets: Experimental Characterization of Dynamic Pressures near the Stagnation Zone
Spillways are a requirement for dams’ safety, mainly preventing overtopping during floods. A common spillway solution involves plunging jets, which dissipate a considerable flow energy in the plunge pool. Energy dissipation has to occur in a controlled manner to avoid endangering the dam foundation...
