Abstract

This study aims to provide a way to increase the energy dissipation of flow in the inclined drop with environmental and economic considerations. Eighty-one experiments were performed on three types of simple inclined drop and inclined drop equipped with hole and without hole fishway elements with a 200~600 L/min flow rate. In this study, the effect of using fishway elements on hydraulic parameters regarding flow pattern, energy dissipation, relative downstream depth, relative aeration length, relative length of the hydraulic jump, and downstream Froude number of an inclined drop was investigated through physical modeling following the symmetry law. The results showed that in all experimental models, with increasing the relative critical depth parameter, the energy dissipation values increase, and the downstream Froude number decreases. The parameters of relative downstream depth, relative length of a hydraulic jump, and relative aeration length also increase with increasing relative critical depth. On average, 88% of the flow energy dissipation increases with the design of the fishway elements on the structure compared to the simple drop. Model M7 (with holes fish elements) shows the highest energy dissipation, and Model M2 (without holes fish elements) has the highest flow aeration length and relative downstream water depth.
