Plunge Pool Pressures Due to a Falling Rectangular Jet
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 131, Issue 5
Abstract
This Technical Note presents the results of a large set of laboratory tests and tries to determine the conditions that ensure the existence of a water cushion that is not expelled by the impingement of a nappe (effective cushion). Second, values of mean dynamic pressures at the stagnation point of nonsymmetric plunge pools downstream of arch dams are assessed.
