Hydraulic Tests of the Operational Spillway of the Bureya Hydraulic Project

The results of hydraulic tests of the operational spillway of the Bureya Hydraulic Project in 2008, 2009, and 2016 are presented. The tests were intended to assess the geometric parameters of the downstream flow, the aeration and spray conditions, the hydrodynamic impact on the main gates, and the flow and wave pattern downstream between HWL = 248.30 m and TCS = 256.00 m.
