Estimation of Water Infiltration at a Given Embankment Dam with Sealing Deficiencies by a 3D Numerical Model
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents a way of studying the water infiltration at the Motru embankment Dam (river ballast fill, clay core sealing) by a 3D numerical model covering the deficient right supporting bank. Since due to sealing imperfections the reservoir runs under level restrictions, the calculations were performed in two stages. First, the model was set up and checked for the existing running situation and then it was endowed with a proposed supplementary ground sealing element that would allow the reservoir running at its designed full capacity. The final goal of the study would be to estimate the maximum appropriate value of the water exfiltration discharge for a dam safety operation under the load given by the originally designed water level. This parameter may than be considered as representative for the expected deep sealing quality, under the required condition of accepting an exfiltrated water turbidity below the value pointed out by stored water.
