Numerical Modeling of Flow in Hydropower Intakes
To reduce high mortality of downstream migrating juvenile salmon at hydraulic turbines, traveling screens are used to guide the juveniles into a bypass channel for safe passage. However,...
Hydraulic Analysis of Water Transmission Flowing Party Full
The hydraulic behavior of a transmission line that flows full along only part of its length is more difficult to analyze than a completely full line. Unsteady open-channel and closed-conduit...
Local Scour at Fish Rocks
There is a growing interest in the enhancement of rearing habitat for juvenile anadromous fish in the Pacific Northwest. This has focused attention on the need for a better understanding...
Cavitation Inception from Cylindrical Holes
The inception of cavitation due to circular holes in a boundary is studied. Laboratory experiments were conducted to define limited cavitation as a function of the hole depth to diameter...
Unsteady Mixing of a Buoyant Jet into a Reservoir
A buoyant effluent was dyed with fluorescent dye on two occasions to determine its mixing characteristics and flow path through a small hydropower reservoir located in south central Arkansas....
Hydrogen Cycle Peak Power at Low-Head Sites
A major draw back to further development of low-head hydro power is that it usually uses run-of-the-river operations. The storage potential for peaking power production that large reservoirs...
Planning a Resource-Compatible Low Head Waterpower Development
Responsible development of waterpower potential is a significant aspect of comprehensive water resource planning. Recent interest in small scale hydro projects has generated concern among...
