Physical model of Alto Tâmega spillway
Physical model of Daivões spillway
Entity
Description
The Upper Tâmega Hydroelectric Project includes the construction of three dams: Alto Tâmega, Daivões and Gouvães. Its operation is carried out by Iberdrola.
To evaluate the hydraulic performance of the spillways designs of Daivões and Alto Tâmega dams, two physical models (scales around 1:50) were built at LNEC. Based on the physical model tests, alternative forms were proposed that allowed improving the functioning of each spillway.
Objectives
- Evaluate and optimize the hydraulic performance of the flood spillways of Daivões and Alto Tâmega dams.
