Features: This book introduces the main achievements of hydraulic research during the engineering design stage of the Three Gorges Dam Project. The content includes: overall layout of flood discharge structures and power stations; determination of construction diversion plans; specific layout of flood discharge structures and downstream energy dissipation and erosion prevention; comparison of spillway body shapes and long/short pier solutions; deep-hole body shapes and measures to prevent flow cavitation and erosion, as well as aeration for erosion reduction; comparison of long/short pipe solutions for diversion bottom holes, their shapes, and water head loss; flow conditions and head loss at power station intake; and flow-induced vibration of downstream high guide walls. These key research findings have been adopted by the design team, effectively addressing practical engineering challenges. The book serves as a reference for technical personnel engaged in water conservancy and hydropower engineering design, research, and management, as well as for faculty and students at relevant institutions.
