Kárahnjúkar Dam spillway, Iceland: Swiss contribution to reduce dynamic plunge pool pressures generated by a high-velocity jet
Spillways often include a flib bucket as terminal energy dissipator, combined with a plunge pool. For large jet fall heights, the residual energy may provoke scour at the river bed. Additional measures are then required, such as chute widening, increase of the plunge pool depth, or insertion of baff...
