An unsurpassed treatise on the state-of-the-science in the research
and design of spillways and energy dissipators, Hydraulics of
Spillways and Energy Dissipators compiles a vast amount of
information and advancements from recent conferences and congresses
devoted to the subject. It highlights developments in theory and
practice and emphasizing topics related to scale effect, dynamic
flow measurement, and the analysis and interpretation of model
results. Consolidates and compares the available information on
various design approaches, procedures, and structure types to
benefit practicing engineers. Reflecting the author's nearly four
decades of experience in the field, this handbook Provides four
broad sections on spillway design, flood- estimation and selection,
various types of spillways and energy dissipators, and topics of
special interest Offers valuable case studies and illustrative
examples to effectively highlight key topics in the text Includes
chapters on crucial design elements such as cavitation, air
entrainment, and aerators Contains extensive discussions of
spillway construction stages, dual purpose spillways, overtopping
protection of earth dams used as spillways, unlined spillways, fuse
plugs and fuse gate spillways, air entrainment and forced aeration,
and protection against detrimental forces such as cavitation,
uplift, and scour About the Author: RAJNIKANT M. KHATSURIA served
as Additional Director, Central Water and Power Research Station,
Pune, India, until his retirement in 2001. He joined the Central
Water and Power Research Station in 1963 and was engaged in the
research and design of hydraulic structures, based on hydraulic
model studies. His special interests include spillways, energy
dissipators, control and conveyance structures, and hydropower
structures. He has completed nearly 150 projects pertaining to the
above disciplines and has authored a number of technical papers and
professional reports. He contributed towards the field
standardization of overflow, non-overflow, and hydropower
structures. He also served as the Senior Expert for WAPCOS (India)
Ltd. (1989-90) for the planning and commissioning of the HLAB
(hydraulics laboratory) at Al Taji, Baghdad, Iraq. He received the
B.E. (1963) degree from Gujarat University, India, the M.E. (1975)
degree from the University of Pune, India, and the M.S. (1981)
degree from the University of Iowa, Iowa City.
