What is the behavior of the river's energy and flow lines in different configurations of physical models?
Behavior of flow lines in a river without energy dissipation structures
Behavior of flow lines in a river with concrete free-fall spillways
Behavior of flow lines in a river with stepped gabion spillways
Efficiency of energy dissipation structures
Behavior of energy in a river with different configurations of physical models
The flow lines tend to move towards the left bank of the river when there are no energy dissipation structures
The energy of the river is generally lower in the presence of energy dissipation structures
The efficiency of gabion stepped spillways tends to increase with lower flow rates
The energy of the river tends to be higher in certain points when there are no energy dissipation structures
The efficiency of concrete free-fall spillways tends to decrease with higher flow rates
