          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Among several techniques for prevention and mitigation of reservoir sedimentation, bottom outlets arise as a means of removing sediment deposited close to the dam. Given the reduced sediment removal provided by traditional bottom outlets under pressure flushing conditions, this article proposes a new type of structure that aims to increase sediment removal in the direction parallel to the dam axis. An experimental installation was employed to evaluate its operation as a function of the variation of its diameter and flow and sediment characteristics. Through analysis of the bathymetry generated by the structure, a dimensionless relation for predicting the scour pit length was obtained, presenting good fitness to the experimental data.

          RESUMO Entre as medidas de prevenção e mitigação da sedimentação em reservatórios, descarregadores de fundo se apresentam como uma forma de remover sedimentos que se depositam junto ao barramento. Dada a restrita remoção de sedimento gerada pelos descarregadores tradicionais em condições de pressure flushing, este artigo propõe uma nova configuração de descarregador de fundo que visa aumentar o alcance de remoção de sedimentos no sentido paralelo ao eixo da barragem. Foi empregada uma instalação experimental para avaliar seu funcionamento em função da variação de seu diâmetro e de características do escoamento e do sedimento. Através da análise da batimetria gerada pela estrutura, desenvolveu-se uma relação adimensional que estima o alcance de remoção de sedimento, apresentando bom ajuste aos dados experimentais.
