The Effect of Aeration on Scour
A vertical water jet was used to study the effects of entrained air, tailwater depth, size of bed material, jet diameter, and jet velocity on scour. Small amounts of entrained air were...
Instability of Water-Fluid Mud Interface
Erosion and entrainment of fluid mud are treated by means of shear flow analysis. The water-fluid mud system is considered as a layered system of two continua separated by a distinct interface...
Optimum Removal of Noncondensable Gases for Open Cycle OTEC System
For an open cycle OTEC system the dissolved gases in warm surface seawater are evolved in the flash evaporator. Those behave as noncondensable gases in the condenser and degrade the condensing...
Fishery Assessments at Hydroelectric Projects Using Electrofishing, Nets, and Hydroacoustics
Assessments of fish population and entrainment were made at a hydroelectric generating station and spill dam on the Ohio River. By combining complementary sampling techniques, full assessments...
Fish Mortality at a New Low-Head Hydroelectric Plant
A study was developed for the Morrow Plant to investigate the potential for turbine related mortality of entrained fish. Morrow Lake supports a small sport fishery, mainly for smallmouth...
Entrainment of Bed Sediment by Density Underflows
The erosion caused by a density-driven underflow has been studied experimentally. The observations indicate that a strong density current can entrain substantial amounts of bed sediment....
Gas Bubble Disease in Trout Below a Low Dam
Research and efforts to reduce nitrogen supersaturation which is affecting trout in the Bighorn River, Montana, below Yellowtail Afterbay Dam is described. Nitrogen supersaturation can...
Fish Studies for a Small Hydroplant in Michigan
The Morrow Lake hydroelectric project is a new facility which is scheduled to become operational in August 1985. A study has been developed consisting of two main parts: Potential change...
Zooplankton Entrainment Evaluation in a Power Plant Station
The impact study on the Setubal thermal plant included an evaluation of the plant's effects on zooplankton in the outlet area. After entrainment in the cooling system there...
Entrainment of Interstitial Water by Overland Flow
The paper reports on a study to investigate the entrainment of interstitial soil water by overland flow. A diffusion model was developed to describe the subsurface concentration and the...
Mixed Layer Modelling of Stratification in Lakes
Mathematical models for vertical heat transfer processes in lakes and reservoirs are grouped into two classes: diffusion models and mixed layer models. In recent years much of the progress...
Buoyant Jet Solution with Synthetic Entrainment Function
A synthetic entrainment function is proposed for buoyant jets discharged at an arbitrary angle into otherwise quiescent ambient fluids. The entrainment function consists of two separate...
