1 41.5 Case Study: Dam Break Analysis for Kali River Basin Kali River is a small River originates in Western Ghats at an elevation of about 9 m and flows down for about 16 Km before joining Arabian sea. Kali River has very steep head slopes. It has a catchment of 4428 sq.km. Series of dams have been constructed to develop hydropower project. Typical cross sections are shown in the figure. From the safety point of view the dam break analysis was carried out by Mahesh Kumar and Thandaveswara in 1992 using Mac Cormack Finite Difference scheme. The typical results are shown in figure. One of the very interesting situations is the flow reaches super critical flow conditions in rapids and moving hydraulic jump occurs (in time) Chainage in 'm' C/S at 46th Km (n =.127) Kali River Plan Numbers indicate the Chainage Chainage in 'm' Chainage in 'm' Chainage in 'm' C/S at 47th Km C/S at 48th Km C/S at 49th Km (n =.12) (n =.125) (n =.125)
