Abstract
The problem of preventing the total and irreversible obstruction of the outlet has been examined on the model. Two typical configurations have been considered: (a) short tunnel through the dam, and (b) long tunnel by-passing the dam. After a qualitative description of the flushing operations and of the behaviour of the outlet, the model laws and similitude criteria have been discussed in the paper. Some quantitative results obtained from the model of type (b) are also provided.
