Comment:
This proposal is to characterize turbulence in the vicinity of entrances to reservoir forebays in order to increase the effectiveness of surface flow bypass systems. Success of this project would contribute significantly to the overall passage of juveniles through the Snake and Columbia River projects. The initial careful collection of field data (velocity contours) upon which to build the lab and applied test was very appealing to the reviewers. The Principal Investigator has a good lab and has designed a good applied test of the turbulence hypothesis. This is a reasonable proposal laid out as a pilot experiment with a solid study design. The compelling argument supporting this proposal is that the information it generates could lead to better design of surface flow bypass systems and thus, it has the potential for large regional significance.Comment:
The turbulent flow jet idea is currently being investigated by the USGS-BRD at Cowlitz Falls Dam, in the context of possible implementation at some point at Lower Granite Dam, in conjunction with the surface bypass program. They have completed the second year of work, and will be funded for an additional year in 2001, based on some positive study results. The concept is in the early stages of development, and issues such as definition of the 3-D flow field and precise juvenile tracking with acoustic tags are being probed to assess bioengineering interactions. While the benefits of starting another study threaten to "reinvent the wheel", there could be a benefit to WSU undertaking lab work. If there is adequate coordination, and determination that WSU could augment the BRD effort, rather than approach the issue separately (on its own).Comment:
