“…Moreover submerged dams are most generally used to prevent erosion that caused by height flow velocity in downstream. Many previous studies have developed laboratory experiments using different types of submerged dams in order to measure discharge and water flow level in channels (Simões et al, 2011). With regard to this, researcher have developed formulas and graphs to predict energy dissipation at the bed of revers or channels.…”

In this study, a MATLAB simulation model was developed for the purpose of calculating the energy dissipation of runoff over submersible dams. A laboratory model of a submersible dam with standard dimensions was used, and two angles of inclination of the dam surface 16° and 24.5° were used downstream. In the laboratory work, the discharge and water depth were measured, in addition to the length of the hydraulic jump and the distance from the source, and by using the basic flow equations, the percentage of flow energy dissipation was calculated for both models, and the discharges were counted. The values of the Froude number ranged from 3.612 to 10.784. A simulation model was built in the MATLAB program using the basic equations of flow, finding the values of energy dissipation percentage and comparing them with the laboratory results. Then drawing the relationships between each of the discharge (Q), energy dissipation percentage (E%), Froude number (F r ), hydraulic jump length (L j ), and the distance of the hydraulic jump from the submerged dam (D j ). The numerical and experimental data have been compared, and it has been determined that there is an acceptable agreement between them. The results also showed the efficiency of using the MATLAB simulation method to obtain accurate and fast results.
