Research on the Optimization Design of Abnormal Flip Buckets

Abstract EN

This study constructs an optimization model to address ski-jump energy dissipation problems in different reservoir environments.

The multiobjective genetic algorithm is herein applied as the calculation method.

In the process of changing the ski-jump flow model, the runoff of ski-jump flow is changed (especially the abnormal flip bucket).

Water flow might go from having a single falling point to multiple falling points.

Optimization is only performed after the stabilization of the fall of the water because the fall of the water from the starting point to the ground is not stable over a short period.

Only a stable flow can reduce the computation time for optimization.

The optimal overflow width and height of the flip bucket were calculated through optimal computation, which can minimize the scouring force of the water flow as it falls to the ground.

The results obtained provide theoretical references for practical engineering and reduce the potential safety hazards.

The energy in flip buckets following the optimization of the water flow can be fully dissipated, creating an ecosystem where water can flow unobstructed.

Guiding a water flow to water-deficient areas is of great significance in ensuring the long-term protection of environments and ecosystems.
