CFD modelling of Bergeforsen's spillway with ice cover

Jonsson, Simon, Wessling, Albin January 2018 (has links)
The latest spillway in Bergeforsen was finished in 2014. It has a 25 metres wide spillway opening capable of discharging 1500 m^3/s at full reservoir retention level. The overflow chute ends in a 35 metres wide and 100 metres long stilling basin which then converges into 25 metres wide curved tunnel leading the water flow under a railway and back into the river. During the winter, the water in the stilling basin and the tunnel freezes, creating an ice cover all the way through the channel and limiting the water passage in the tunnel. For thinner ice covers, the channel can be flushed by discharging water into the spillway, but there are concerns that a colder winter might result in a ice cover of significant thickness, not prone to cracking at water discharges. This could result in water masses flowing on top of the ice cover into an ice covered tunnel leaving it at risk of being pressurized, posing some serious safety threats to the tunnel. This report presents a full-scale 3D model of the spillway with an ice cover as well as both transient and steady-state simulation results for several discharges to examine the effect of an impenetrable ice cover in the channel. The model is verified using American Society of Mechanical Engineers policy complete with an grid convergence index study. It was found that there was no risk for pressurized flow in the tunnel. However, serious wave-run ups was observed at the tunnel entrance and in the tunnel. / <p>Slutrapporten i projektkursen F7042T (15 hp) på civilingenjörsprogrammet i Teknisk fysik och elektroteknik (INTE EXJOBB).</p>
