    Three Gorges Project and Dam - China (7)

Description
Three Gorges Project and Dam (Yichang, China, 2002-2007). Concrete gravity dam.  
Length: 2300 m
Height: 181 m.
Powerplant: 32 Francis turbines (700 MW each)  

High-velocity flow from an outlet sluice on 20 Oct. 2004 (V = 35 m/s); note the large amount of 'white waters' highlighting strong free-surface aeration.

This web site was launched by Prof. Michele Mossa of the Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) with the initial support of Fondazione Caripuglia, Bari, Italy for the Research Project LIC-MON of 2003 and of the Project IMCA (Integrated Monitoring of Coastal Areas) financed by MIUR PON D.M. 593/00. Later, the initiative was supported with other Prof. Michele Mossa’s funds, most recently provided by the RITMARE Project.
