A method of determining parameters of Bofang model on the example of "Bileca" reservoir

Abstract

In this research paper, measurement data of air and water temperatures and water levels for "Bileca" reservoir for a period between 1967. and 2017. are presented. Based on the averaged measurement data values, an analytical expressions for amplitude of periodic temperature variation of "Bileca" reservoir are derived and an average annual temperature, as a function of the observed depth, is obtained, based on Bofang model. The obtained results allow thermal stress analysis, which represents an important factor for stability and safety monitoring of dams.
