Flow around a sharp open-channel bend is highly three-dimensional (3D) due to the combined effects of secondary flow, large free surface variation and flow separation along inner wall. Continuous vanes often used in closed curved conduits generate more uniform downstream were tested open channel using 3D finite-volume model with Reynolds stress turbulence volume fluid method for prediction. The velocity field, turbulent kinetic energy extent zone successfully validated against laboratory...
This study presents a geographic information system (GIS)-supported three-dimensional fuzzy risk assessment approach (3D GIS-FRA) for flood that is based on the development of fuzzy-set model, 3D GIS mapping, and hydro-statistical simulation. Using digital elevation model (DEM), urban settings under different levels are visualized hydraulic simulations conducted various river flow scenarios to determine rates specified levels. Then, statistical analysis carried out using historical records...
Weirs and notches are efficient devices for measuring flow rates. Banks of slit weirs forming multislit allow both precise discharge measurements in a very large range rates permit good regulation. V-shaped traditionally used as laboratory devices, especially the low ranges. In current investigation, method images was to form weir system measurement regulation flows that includes Experimental studies were conducted determine coefficients over wide Reynolds numbers. The study provided single...
Wastewater plant effluents discharged into streams are expected to undergo dilution in a short reach. Jets provide rapid mixing and enhance of the effluent stream. The counter-flowing wall jet expansion angle, geometry dividing streamline penetration length were found using measured mean axial velocity data. These characteristics expressed terms ratio (jet exit against main stream velocity). A salt solution known concentration was injected flow. distribution determined at several...
