Abstract
Abstract – In this study, the different methods available for design of desilting tank and assessment of their silt removal efficiency have been reviewed and analyzed. New curves for assessing silt removal efficiency of desilting tanks have been developed. For the optimum design of desilting tank, two new methods have also been developed incorporating the effect of upstream and downstream transition portions provided to connect the desilting tank with incoming/ outgoing channels/ tunnels/ pipes. The first method is based on minimum vetted surface area of desilting tank leading to minimum construction cost. The second method is based on efficiency curves, developed in this study. Both methods are found to provide similar results. The second method has been recommended for optimum design of desilting tank as it provides the design in first trial itself. The desilting tank for some hydropower projects have been designed using method re...
