Abstract: For the flood relief and energy dissipation characteristics of the Geheyan Project, the basic ways of energy dissipation and scour protection were studied, and the new type dissipater-combined dissipation of asymmetric flaring piers and a stilling basin was developed. This made thatch difficult problem of flood relief and energy dissipation of a high arch dam built on a narrow river channel had been solved. The successful experiences from this project can be used in conducting the energy dissipation and scour protection design of other high arch dams.
