Flooding and bathymetric surveys (1969-2001)
Flooding survey (available since 1969)
- 1969 – 1980: statistical analysis based on Tucurui
and Itupiranga about 175 km upstream,
PMF = 90’000 cms
- 1978-1980: 3 major flood events during dam
construction, up to 68’000 cms
- 1980-present: more detailed flood analysis, PMF =
110’000 cms, somewhat conservative,
maximum peak since dam construction
= 43’000 cms (Jan 1990)

Survey 2 (1985)
No specific issues, only left hand isde of basin has been

Survey 3 (1986)
Former sediment deposits washed away. Slight erosion
(max. 5 m) along two local areas of plunge pool bottom
and problaby related to removal of partially detached
(blasting) rock blocks.
Survey 4 (1997)
Same erosion in same areas as found during the 1986
survey. No specific issues to notice.

Falling jet at Tucurui Dam
The jet at Tucurui Dam is issuing from a chute with flip bucket. As such, numerical computations
have first been performed of the air-water flow characteristics along the chute. The water surface
line for a 110’000 m3/s is presented in Figure 4.
The flow velocity at the lip of the flip bucket equals 27.8 m/s, for a total flow depth of about
8 m. The upstream water level is 75.3 m a.s.l. and the downstream plunge pool water level is at 4.4
m a.s.l. The jet is thus of rectangular shape with a width of 20m and an issuance thickness of 8m.
Second, the jet characteristics at impact in the tailwater depth have been defined based on
ballistics accounting for air drag. As such, the jet velocity at impact has been computed at 37.9 m/s
for an inner jet core diameter of about 6.9 m. Its turbulence intensity has been estimated at 8 % and
its air concentration at impact at 40 %, corresponding to very turbulent air-water jets.

Plunge pool diffusion at Tucurui Dam
The diffusion of the jet through the pool water depth is presented in Figure 2. Significant spread of
the jet is computed, with an outer jet diameter at impact in the pool of about 20m. The jet core
vanishes before impacting the plunge pool bottom, corresponding to fully developed jet conditions.

Almost no scour formation for 100’000 cms and under beneficial parametric assumptions
Small scour forms under average parametric assumptions and for 100’000 cms (10m of scour formation)
The laboratory model tests are probably somewhat on the conservative side (25m of socur formation)
For a completely broken up rock mass (detached blocks with depth), significant scour would form, however not plausible
