Solutionally enhanced leakage rates of dams in karst regions
Bauer S. , Birk S. , Liedl R. , Sauter M.
Abstract:
This paper presents numerical model studies regarding the development of leakage rates of dams in karst regions due to solutional enlargement of conduits in the rock beneath the reservoirA hybrid continuum-discrete flow model (CAVE) is used for the modelingThe fractured carbonate rock beneath the reservoir is represented by a network of initial conduitsThe effects of a preferential flowpath and a grout curtain on leakage rates are studied in different scenariosFor the parameters considered in this paper, the simulation results suggest that dissolutional widening of the network leads in all scenarios to leakage rates endangering the reservoir within 100 years
