Brick culvert dissipation chamber
Final junction chamber of charford culvert system, generous topology via energy dissipation to prevent hydraulic based erosion of the banks on the outfall. 1: junction chamber 2: plunge pool 3: line to Finstall- length: 530 metres (1,700ft) 4: line to Stonehouse road- length: 75m (250ft) 5: hydraulic jump and velocity energy loss 6: interceptor main The concentric material of the system obviously consisting of CSP (6) which indicates it as a minimum energy loss culvert, as a result of this it has a low mannings coefficient and a high hydrodynamic flow rate resulting in a very nice cohesion to Baldwin Latham self cleansing velocity purging debris, sediments out the system. At this junction chamber (1) , the hydrostatic depth rises as a result of the main interceptor’s invert level being constructed below the hydraulic mean depth resulting in a plunge pool (2). Due to the presence of a plunge pool, a hydraulic jump (5) is created and the Reynolds number factor rises extremely high, hyd...
