1. 16. Design of RCC gravity dam and FEM modelling in GeoStudio - Longtan dam

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Patrick Lucas Arkadiusz Bochnak; Maria Eugenia Correa Saracco; [2020]
   Keywords : RCC; China; Longtan dam; Flood routing; GeoStudio; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world. READ MORE

3. 17. Estimating greenhouse gas emission via degassing and modeling temperature profiles in tropical reservoirs.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Johan Wilson; [2020]
   Keywords : Metan; Vaxthusgaser; Vattenkraft; Klimat;

   Abstract : The aim of this project was to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the degassing process ofhydroelectrical reservoirs in tropical regions.Reservoirs represent 25 % of the total area of man-made freshwater systems and are a source of GHG emissions tothe atmosphere.

4. 18. Bubbles guide migrating smolts around hydropower plants

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Shona MacArthur; [2019]
   Keywords : Atlantic salmon; migration; bubble barrier; hydropower plant; predation;

   Abstract : The development of hydroelectric power production and the damming of water courses that ensues causes a threat to the migration patterns of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), by altering their habitat and compromising river connectivity. Because the species’ survival heavily depends on the completion of their migration between rivers and oceans, the design of guidance structures that promote successful passages around dams is a critical goal.

5. 19. Probabilistic non-linear finite element analysis of concrete buttress dams

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Adrian Ulfberg; [2019]
   Keywords : ATENA; FREET; SARA; probabilistic; numerical; Kalhovd; FEA; FEM;

   Abstract : Assessment of concrete buttress dams today consists of using analytical methods to investigate the stability in different failure modes. However, they simplify the problem at hand and neglect certain important features linked to geometry and thus not truthfully appraise the structures real stability. READ MORE

6. 20. Design and numerical analysis of an overflow section : a case study of Longtan dam

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Albin Wessling; Simon Jonsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Overflow section; design; FEM; stability;

   Abstract : This thesis covers the master diploma work conducted at Hohai University, Nanjing, People's Republic of China. An overflow spillway section fitted for the Longtan Dam was designed and the loads acting on it was identified after an iterative flood routing calculation. READ MORE
