Investigations of Rake and Rib Structures in Sand Traps to Prevent Sediment Transport in Hydropower Plants

In order to increase the lifespan of hydraulic turbines in hydropower plants, it is necessary to minimize damages caused by sediment erosion. One solution is to reduce the amount of sediments by improving the design of sand trap. In the present work, the effects on sand trap efficiency by installing...
