Hydrodynamic Characteristics in Ecological Arc-Shaped Baffle Fishway

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fishways are hydraulic structures allowing fishes upstream migration through engineering constructions in the rivers. The Denil type has a wide application and the main components are flat baffles. In this paper, we present a new type of baffle (arc-shaped baffle) to ameliorate the hydrodynamic characteristics in the fishway. The main improvement of arc-shaped baffle fishway is the alteration that the flat baffles are replaced by arc-baffles. In order to investigate the influence of water flow on migratory fish in the arc-baffle fishway, model tests were conducted. Based on the experimental results, the conclusion can be reached that hydrodynamic characteristics in arc-shaped baffle fishways are steadier than that in traditional Denil fishways, which makes fishes ascend easily.
