Abstract An ordinary differential equation (ODE) for velocity distribution in open channel flows is presented based on an analysis of the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and a log-wake modified eddy viscosity distribution. This proposed allows to predict velocity-dip-phenomenon, i.e. maximum below free surface. Two different degrees approximations are presented, semi-analytical solution ODE, full dip-modified-log-wake law (fDMLW-law) simple (sDMLW-law). Velocity profiles two laws...

In Lake Ziway watershed in Ethiopia, the contribution of river inflow to water level has not been quantified due scarce data for rainfall-runoff modeling. However, satellite rainfall estimates may serve as an alternative source model inputs. this study, we evaluated performance and bias correction Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation (CHIRP) estimate simulation at Meki Katar catchments using Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) hydrological model. A non-linear power method...

Applicability of satellite rainfall products must be explored since rain gauge networks have limitations to provide adequate spatial coverage. In this study, Climate Hazards InfraRed Precipitation (CHIRP) satellite-only product was evaluated for rainfall-runoff modeling whereas the simulated runoff served as input simulate water levels Lake Ziway from 1986 2014. CHIRP dataset bias-corrected using power transformation and used Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) model streamflow...

Central Rift Valley Lakes sub-basin, Ethiopia. The competition for water is rapidly increasing in lakes sub-basin due to the combined effect of various resources developments. However, impacts recent and future development pathways on balance three interconnected (i.e. Lake Ziway, Langano Abiyata) are unknown. Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model was used assess lakes. We considered that are, (2009–2018), short-term (2019–2028) long-term (2029–2038). Ziway inflows from six catchments...

The semitheoretical function of Nezu and Nakagawa (1993, Turbulence in Open-Channel Flows, A. Balkema, ed., Rotterdam, Netherlands) for the turbulent kinetic energy k is valid only where local equilibrium a good approximation. From an estimation difference between production its dissipation G−ϵ, we present this study analytical solution modeled equation. Comparisons with direct numerical simulation data channel flows show agreement. A universal k+ deducted y+<20.

The flow in rivers is turbulent. main parameter related to turbulence the eddy viscosity, which used model a turbulent and involved determination of both velocities sediment concentrations. A well-known largely vertical distribution viscosity free surface flows (open channels rivers) given by parabolic profile that based on logarithmic velocity assumption valid therefore only log-law layer. It was improved thanks log-wake law profile. These two viscosities are obtained from profiles,...

This study investigates the simultaneous distribution of suspended sediment concentration and streamwise velocity in an unsteady, uniform, one-dimensional sediment-laden open-channel flow. Theoretical models for have been developed, incorporating stratification effect through coefficients stratified diffusivity hindered settling exponent coefficient reduction. The resulting coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are highly nonlinear nature solved numerically. results indicate that...
