The design of Three Gorges Hydropower Station

Using physical model and numerical simulation techniques,some technical problems were studied systematically,including layout of power station,measures of sediment and floating debris discharging,types of intake,embedded types of spiral case,layout of underground powerhouse tunnel group and block reinforcement.It was optimal in technique and economy with the arrangement of powerhouse at the dam-toe of both banks +underground powerhouse in the right bank,as well as the intake with a single and small orifice....
