Manning's Formula and the Strickler Scaling Derived from a Co-spectral Budget Model

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

Manning's empirical formula in conjunction with Strickler's scaling is widely used to predict the bulk velocity (V) from the hydraulic radius (Rh), the roughness size (r), and the slope of the energy grade line (S) in uniform channel flows at high bulk Rey ...

The influence of splitter blades and meridional profiles on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for ORC applications; analysis, neural network modeling and optimization

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini

This work presents the influence of splitters on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for organic Rankine cycle applications numerically. Different design parameters, such as impeller diameter at the outlet, number of blades, blade angle at the traili ...

Effects of vegetation at a bar confluence on river hydrodynamics: The case study of the Arno River at Greve junction

Giulio Calvani

River bars often form at river confluences due to variation in flow discharges or in sediment transport capacity; once these bars are grown, they constitute favourable habitats for vegetation development. In this work, we analysed the effect of vegetation ...

The variability of antidune morphodynamics on steep slopes

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Steep streams on rough beds are generally characterised by supercritical flow conditions under which antidunes can develop and migrate over time. In this paper, we present flume experiments that we conducted to investigate the variability of antidune geome ...

Evaluation of Drainage Phase Diagram for PEM Fuel Cell Porous Layer

Mahbod Heidari

The drainage process in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is investigated with an ex situ experimental approach. The drainage process is investigated for stable displacement, capillary fingering, and viscous fingeri ...

Modelling the vertical structure of turbulent free-surface flows over rough permeable beds

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

Understanding diffusive processes across the sediment-water interface is important for quantifying hyporheic exchanges and related biogeochemical processes (e.g., denitrification, biomass growth). Viscous, turbulent and dispersive effects all contribute to ...

Influence of geometrical parameters of chamfered or rounded orifices on head losses

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam

Orifices are largely used in pipeline systems. The most common application is to measure the discharge of the water flowing through. However, orifices may be used to adapt hydroelectric power plants submitted to moderate increase of installed generation ca ...

Large-scale coherent flow structures in rough-bed open-channel flow observed in fluctuations of three-dimensional velocity, skin friction and bed pressure

Ulrich Lemmin, Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

The dynamics of large-scale coherent structures (LSCS) are investigated in a rough-bed flow over the whole water column and longitudinal and transverse turbulent fluxes of momentum are compared. The relation between LSCS and fluctuations of skin friction a ...

Manning’s formula and Strickler’s scaling explained by a co-spectral budget model

Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

Manning’s empirical formula in conjunction with Strickler’s scaling is widely used to predict the bulk velocity V from the hydraulic radius Rh, the roughness size r and the slope of the energy grade line S in uniform channel and pipe flows at high bulk Rey ...

Characterization of hydraulic behavior of orifices in conduits

Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam

High-head power plants are the main pillar of Swiss peak electricity production. With the 2050 Energy Strategy approved by Swiss voters, the annual production of hydroelectricity should increase by 4%, while 90% of the technically feasible potential is alr ...
