4 Metre Diameter Penstock Construction for the Raymond Reservoir Hydro Project
Mapping 2-D and 3-D Velocity Components in Circular Conduits Using an Electromagnetic Current Meter and a 5-Hole Pilot Probe
The techniques presented in this paper facilitate the visualization of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional flow fields at arbitrary sections in a conduit. They have been used to...
Concrete Arch Bridges for Supporting Steel Conduits of Mingtan Pumped Storage Project
For the Mingtan Pumped Storage Project of an installed capacity of 1600 MW, two parallel waterways have been constructed for conveying flows between the upper reservoir and the lower reservoir...
Cable-in-Conduit Superconductors for MAGLEV Magnet Systems
A major advantage of using a Nb3Sn Cable-in-Conduit Conductor (CICC) for MAGLEV lies in its demonstrated capability to operate in supercritical helium....
Testing Outlet Works Gates and Valves at USBR Dams Under Unbalanced-Head Conditions: Tieton Dam Unbalanced-Head Gate Test
The Tieton Dam outlet works installation geometry is the most common type used in U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) earthfill dams. An emergency guard gate is located in a gate chamber...
Steel Penstocks
Computational Hydraulics—The Systems Approach
This paper introduces two modern computational hydraulic computer programs that combine the calculated subcritical and supercritical water surface profiles and pressure gradients in open...
Hydraulic Model Studies of Y-Branch
Hydraulic model studies were made for the Y-branch steel penstock located in a vertical bend. The model tests were performed for various modes of pumping and generating operation. The...

Small and Low Head Pumped Storage Projects
With the recent completion of several very large pumped storage projects, the perception of a hydroelectric pumped storage project in some power industry circles may be that of a project...
Screening Data with an Expert System (PDAS)
The performance of a three-mile long penstock, constructed in an active landslide area in northern California, is monitored using 138 vibrating wire-strain gauges. Readings are taken daily,...
Pressure-Time Flow Measurements Under Adverse Conditions
Theoretical analyses suggest that the pressure-time method is capable of accurately determining flow rate in the short, varying cross section, 'semi-scroll' penstocks...
