Abstract

Water temperature affects not only the water quality and ecological balance of the reservoir, but the temperature and stress field distribution of the high arch dam during water storage and operation management. During low water storage and initial operation, the concrete in reservoirs over 100 m deep in particular can easily crack or expand because of low temperature reservoir water. This paper studies the water temperature distribution law of the reservoir during initial storage by establishing a three-dimensional fluid dynamics model. Based on this, this paper explores the three-dimensional temperature field and stress field of the dam body during the storage period, the causes of cracking, and stress distribution in key parts of the arch dam.
