Efficiency of energy dissipation during filling of the navigation lock

Original language description

As part of the research focusing on the optimization of the lock filling, the minimization of the longitudinal force during the direct filling of the lock was tested. The longitudinal force was minimized by modifying the geometry of the stilling basin under the Tainter gate using CFD models. Four geometries of the stilling basin were tested using the geometry of the Děčín Lock. These CFD models were verified using data measured on a physical model. By modifying the geometry of the stilling basin, it is possible to reduce the longitudinal force caused by the momentum decrease in longitudinal direction of the chamber and the force caused by the impact of the filling jet against the bow of the ship. Research has shown that by optimizing the upper head and the stilling basin, the monitored forces can be reduced by up to 15 times. Although direct filling is designed for navigation locks with a low head (up to 3 m), this design of the lock head can be used for locks with a head above 5 m. It is possible to eliminate longitudinal force during direct filling of the lock without structural modifications, making it possible to increase the capacity of historic locks on the Elbe-Vltava Waterway (Czech Republic) without impacting the architectural character of the locks. The research was conducted as part of project no. DG18P02OVV004 entitled “Documentation and presentation of technical cultural heritage along the Elbe-Vltava Waterway” within a support programme for applied research and experimental development of national and cultural identity, funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
