Three-Dimensional Velocity Distribution at Open-Channel Diversions

by A. Jacob Odgaard, Univ of Iowa, Iowa City, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Hydraulic Engineering

Abstract:

A study is underway to develop an improved understanding of the 3-D flow pattern at 90? diversions. The main goal is to explain, via the velocity distribution, the behavior of sediment transport in the vicinity of a diversion, in particular the formation of sand bars, which is an acute problem at many power plant water intakes. Velocity data obtained in a laboratory set-up are presented and discussed.
