Modelling at Stilling Basin of River Infrastructures – An Overview

Abstract

Stilling basin is a crucial structure at dam, weir, check dam and groundsill. Those
infrastructure is used to reduce an excessive energy from spillway to minimize scouring at the
downstream so that the flow beyond does not endanger the downstream river bed. There are a lot
of types stilling basin that are claimed as an appropriate energy dissipator for any particular
conditions. However, there were a lot of facts that those stilling basin are crushed. On the other
hand, engineers also need a model which not only able to capture the problems, but also has
time, space and economic efficiency. This paper presented four modelling system include
physical, numerical, artificial intellegence and deep learning method for developing scouring
characteristics below the spillway, and how deep learning becomes one of promising tool to
improve capability of computional flow modelling.
