The key steps involve calculating the approach velocity, bucket radius, angle of the lip, lip level, trajectory length, pressure on the bucket, and scour depth.

The steps include determining the salient design levels, calculating the approach velocity, determining the bucket invert elevation and radius, calculating the lip angle, lip level and tangent point, and calculating the trajectory length.

The important design parameters considered are the reservoir pool level, maximum tail water level, discharge, crest level, base width, approach velocity, bucket radius, angle of the lip, lip level, and trajectory length.

HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF TRAJECTORY BUCKET TYPE ENERGY DISSIPATER:

The design is based on IS 7365:1985. 19/1/2008

1. Salient levels:
Reservoir pool level = 2147.10 m (MWL *)
Max. TWL = 2101.860 m
Foundation Level = 2096.00 m
Discharge (Q) = 400.00 m3/s
Crest level = 2145.00 m
Base width (D) = 60.00 m
Discharge Intensity (q) = Q/D = 6.67 Cumecs per Meter

2. Bucket invert elevation:


Bucket invert is decided so as to provide a minimum concrete cover of 1.5 m over the bedrock. Bed
level is at 2096.00 m. Thus the minimum Bucket invert elevation is 2097.50 m.
Provide Bucket invert elevation at EL 2098.500
3. Calculation for approach velocity:
Theoretical Velocity (vt) =sqrt (2gH3)
H3 = Reservoir pool level- tail water level
= 45.24
g = 9.81 m/sec2
vt = sqrt (2*g*H3)
Vt = 29.793 m/sec

H = depth of overflow over spillway (m)


= 2.1 m

H= 2.10 m
H3 = 45.24 m
vt = 29.793 m/sec
va/ vt = 0.75 (Refer fig :7, IS 7365:1985.)
Va = 22.34 m/sec

4. Calculation for bucket radius:


Bucket radius (R): 0.6 to 0.8*sqrt (H*H5)
H= 2.1 m
Jet surface elevation is 2098.798 m (IL+d1)
H5 = reservoir pool level- jet surface elevation
H5 = 48.30 m

R= 8.057134 ~ Say R = 10
So adopt R = 10 m, but R should be > 3d1
d1 = q/va = 0.2984 m
3d1 = 0.8950719 m
So R = 10 m is O.K.

5. Angle of lip:
Angle of lip generally varies from 35° to 45° and has been taken as 45°.
6. Trajectory bucket pressure:
p= (va2/gR + 1) γd1
γ= unit weight of water = 1 t/ m3
So, p = (22.34 / 9.81* 10 + 1)* 1* 0.3077 = 1.8168 t/m2

7. Calculation for lip level and Tangent point:


Equation of Ogee curve is given by:
X1.85 = 3.436 *Y
Tangent point level = 2144.311
y = crest level – tangent point level
y= 2145 - 2144.311
y= 0.689
X= 1.593

Differentiate eq. (1), with respect to y,


1.85x0.85dx/dy= 3.436
dx/dy = 3.436 /1.85X.85

At x= , 1.593 dx/dy = 1.250


tan Ø = dy/dx = 1/ 1.25 = 0.80
Ø= 38.659 say 40°

8. Slope of the lip:


As tail water level is higher than the bucket lip level, the lip shall slope downstream to a slope of
about 1 in 10.
9. Trajectory length:

a.      Horizontal throw:


X/Hv = sin 2Ø + 2cos Ø*sqrt (sin2 Ø + Y/Hv)
Y = lip level – max. TWL
Y= 2101.2268 -2101.86 = -0.6332

Hv =va2/2g = 22.342/ (2x9.81)


= 25.447
X/ 25.447 = sin80° +2cos40°* sqrt (sin240°- 0.6332 / 25.447)
Or X= 49.349

b.      Vertical distance:


a = va2sin2 Ø /2g
a= 10.505

10. Depth of scour:

ds = m ( q H4 ) 0.5
H4 = reservoir pool level- bucket end sill elevation 45.873
2147.1- 2101.2268 = 45.873 m
m = 0.36 (constant, for minimum expected scour)

So, ds=0.36 (6.67*45.873) 0.5= 6.296

Scour level =2101.86 - 6.033 = 2095.564

HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF TRAJECTORY BUCKET TYPE ENERGY DISSIPATER:

The design is based on IS 7365:1985. 19/1/2008

1. Salient levels:
Reservoir pool level = 2147.10 m (MWL *)
Max. TWL = 2101.860 m
Foundation Level = 2096.00 m
Discharge (Q) = 400.00 m3/s
Crest level = 2145.00 m
Base width (D) = 60.00 m
Discharge Intensity (q) = Q/D = = ( 400 / 60 ) = 6.67 Cumecs per Meter

2. Bucket invert elevation:


Bucket invert is decided so as to provide a minimum concrete cover of 1.5 m over the bedrock. Bed
level is at 2096.00 m. Thus the minimum Bucket invert elevation is 2097.50 m.
Provide Bucket invert elevation at EL 2098.50 m.
3. Calculation for approach velocity:
Theoretical Velocity (vt) = sqrt ( 2xgxH3 )
H3 = Reservoir pool level- tail water level
= ( 2147.1 - 2101.86 ) = 45.24 m
g = 9.81 m/sec2
v t = sqrt ( 2 x g x H3 )
Vt= = ( 2 x 9.81 x 45.24)^ 0.5 = 29.793 m/sec

H = depth of overflow over spillway (m)


= 2.1 m

H= 2.10 m
H3 = 45.24 m
vt = 29.793 m/sec
va/ vt = 0.75 (Refer fig :7, IS 7365:1985.)
Va = ( 29.793 x 0.75 ) = 22.34 m/sec

4. Calculation for bucket radius:


Bucket radius ® = ( 0.6 to 0.8 ) x sqrt ( H x H5 )
H= 2.1 m
Jet surface elevation is = 2098.5 + ( 400 / ( 60 x 22.34 )) = 2098.8 m (IL+d1)
H5 = reservoir pool level- jet surface elevation
H5 = ( 2147.1 - 2098.8 ) = 48.30 m

R= 0.8 x ( 48.3 x 2.1 )^0.5 = 8.057 ~ Say R = 10


Hence R = 10 but R should be > 3d1
d1 = q/va = ( 6.67 / 22.34 ) = 0.2990 m
3 x d1 = 0.897 m
So R = 10 m is O.K.

5. Angle of lip:
Angle of lip generally varies from 35° to 45° and has been taken as 45°.
6. Trajectory bucket pressure:
p = (va2/gR + 1) γd1
γ= unit weight of water = 1 t/ m3
So, p = ((( 22.34 ^ 2 ) / 2 x 9.81 ) + 1 ) x 1 x 0.299 = 1.8201 t/m2

7. Calculation for lip level and Tangent point:


Equation of Ogee curve is given by:
X1.85 = 3.436 x Y Eq. (1)
Tangent point level = 2144.311
y = crest level – tangent point level
y= ( 2145 - 2144.311 ) = 0.689

Hence X = ( 3.436 x 0.689 ) ^ ( 1/1.85) = 1.593

Differentiate Eq. (1), with respect to y,


1.85x0.85dx/dy= 3.436
dx/dy = 3.436 /1.85X.85

At x= , 1.593 dx/dy = 3.436 / ( 1.85 x ( 1.593 ^ 0.85 )) = 1.250


tan Ø = dy/dx = 1 / 1.250 = 0.80
Ø= 38.674 say 40°

8. Slope of the lip:


As tail water level is higher than the bucket lip level, the lip shall slope downstream to a slope of
about 1 in 10.
9. Trajectory length:

a.      Horizontal throw:


X / H v = sin 2Ø + 2cos Ø x sqrt (sin2 Ø + Y / Hv)
Y = lip level – max. TWL
Y= ( - )= = -0.6332
2101.2268 -2101.86
Hv =va2/2g = 22.342/ (2x9.81)
= 25.437
X/ 25.447 = sin80° +2cos40°* sqrt (sin240°- 0.6332 / 25.447)
Or X= 49.328

b.      Vertical distance:


a = va2sin2 Ø /2g
a= 10.501

10. Depth of scour:

ds = m ( q H4 ) 0.5
H4 = reservoir pool level- bucket end sill elevation 45.873
2147.1- 2101.2268 = 45.873 m
m = 0.36 (constant, for minimum expected scour)

So, ds=0.36 (6.67*45.873) 0.5= 6.297

Scour level =2101.86 - 6.033 = 2095.563
