Effect of the Earth Rotation on Tide Induced Sediment Transport
Semi-enclosed seas are generally composed of narrow straits and wide basins, forming a strait-basin system. In the strait-basin system where tidal current prevails, the strong tidal current...
The Twin Vortex Draft Tube Surge
Recent studies conducted at Colorado State University using a model of the 700-MW turbines at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Grand Coulee Third Powerplant indicate that...
Waterpower 91?Laboratory Investigation of Syphon Intakes
The Federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (Canada) has funded four separate investigations of syphon hydro technology. These study phases, which were carried out by Acres Hydraulic...
Model Study of an Intake Structure
To increase the delivery capacity of an existing gravity-feed water supply pipeline in Orange County, California, modification of the existing structure and placement of a booster pumping...
Detecting the Twin Vortex Draft Tube Surge
Experiments were performed to investigate a twin vortex draft tube surge in a homologous model and the prototype 700-MW turbines installed at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's...
Vortex at Hydraulic Intakes with Asymmetric Approach Flows
The formation of vortices at intakes can disrupt normal operating procedures and damage hydraulic machinery. Asymmetric approach flow and a protruding pier (normal wall) contribute to...
Model Studies on Local Scour
In this investigation, the scaling procedure of a scour model in the laboratory has been indicated. The results have been compared with the prototype data....
Modeling of Surface Vortices in Unsteady Flow
Hydraulic model studies of lock filling and emptying systems include investigating vortex tendencies at the intake vincinity during filling. The flow at the intake vicinity is unsteady...
Experimental Study on the Hydraulic Characteristic and Trapping Efficiency of a Vortex Tube Sediment Trap
In this paper, an expression of water extractor ratio of a vortex tube has been obtained according to the principle of energy conservation and transformation; based on the feature of sediment...
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...
