Energy Losses at Structures

Australian Water School via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intricacies of energy losses at structures in this comprehensive 1-hour 12-minute webinar presented by the Australian Water School. Delve into the concept of form losses and their impact on water flow through constrictions. Learn about various modeling approaches, including 1D, 2D, and 3D techniques, to accurately represent energy dissipation. Examine specific structural elements such as piers and bridge decks, understanding how they affect water flow and energy loss. Gain insights from industry expert Bill Syme from TUFLOW as he demonstrates structure loss theory and its practical applications. Participate in a Q&A session to clarify doubts and deepen your understanding of this crucial aspect of hydraulic engineering.
