Abstract: The distance between upper plug and lower plug affects the energy dissipation capacity of multi-stage plug discharge tunnel. In the present paper, the reasonable distance between the upper plug and the lower plug in multi-stage plug discharge tunnel is researched by numerical simulations. Result shows that when the contraction ratio is in the scope of 0.4-0.8, a reasonable distance between upper plug and lower plug equal to or more than 5.7D would guarantee the full display of plugs in different stages.

Key words: multi-stage plug, energy loss, numerical simulation, reasonable distance, dissipation capacity
