    Stilling Basin Calcs - Metric

    Uploaded by

    Victor Peñaranda
    This spreadsheet calculates parameters for three types of stilling basins below flumes or weirs. Input values include discharge, basin width, and slope. It then computes dimensions such as step heights, velocities, depths, and elevations. Ratios of computed to design values are provided for checking purposes. References are listed for further information on stilling basin hydraulic design.

    Spreadsheet for determining parameters of stilling basins below flumes/weirs

    Simple basin with end sill (inclined chute entrance)


    User input cells are in bold

    Q 120 m3/s
    bc 12 m
    q = Q/bc 10 (m3/s)/m
    g 9.806 m/s2

    H1 2.202 m
    y2 3.225 m
    H2 3.715 m
    computed by circular reference until yd
    step height, n 1.741 m matches conjugate depth
    yd 4.966 m
    Hd 5.173 m
    Upstream channel invert elev. 1373.85 m
    Downstream channel invert elev. 1367.29 m
    Basin invert elev. 1365.55 m
    DZ 8.301 m
    DH 5.330 m
    DZ+H1 10.503 m
    computed by circular reference
    input velocity, vu 13.850 m/s dependent on yu so that Hu = DZ+H1
    input depth, yu 0.722 m
    Hu 10.503 m
    Fru 5.205
    conjugate depth 4.966 m

    Simple basin with end sill (abrupt drop)


    Actual jump length is about 6.1yd
    Jump length (location of step), Lj=5yd 24.83 m (see Engineering Monograph 25, fig. 7)
    point of jet impact, Lp/DZ 1.271
    point of jet impact, Lp 10.551 m
    steepest possible slope (Z:1) 1.271

    Type III basin with chute blocks and baffle blocks


    Less than 20 cm can be difficult to
    Chute block height and spacing = yu 0.72 m construct
    Basin length factor, from fig. 12,
    Engr. Monograph 25 (2.2 to 2.75) 2.40
    Basin length 11.92 m
    Baffle block position 3.97 m 397.3 cm
    Baffle block height, n3=yu(4+Fru)/6 1.108 m 110.8 cm
    Baffle block top thickness = 0.2n3 0.222 m 22.2 cm
    Baffle block spacing = 0.75n3 0.831 m 83.1 cm
    End sill height, yu(18+Fru)/18 0.931 m 93.1 cm

    Dimensionless ratios
    n/yu 2.412
    y2/yu 4.467
    yd/D Z 0.598

    Table 7.1 in Water Measurement with Flumes and Weirs gives values of many of these ratios directly
    for use in design, but requires interpolation based on value of DH/H1. Values are shown here for
    checking purposes.
    DH/H1 2.421
    yd/yu 6.878
    yu/H1 0.328
    [vu2/(2g)]/H1 4.442
    Hu/H1 4.770
    yd/H1 2.255
    [vd2/(2g)]/H1 0.094
    Hd/H1 2.349
