Coupling between flow and sediment deposition in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, Erica Camnasio, Michel Pirotton

Flow velocity and sedimentation patterns were investigated experimentally and numerically in shallow rectangular reservoirs with different asymmetric locations of the inlet and outlet channels. Velocity fields were measured in the entire reservoir, both fo ...

A naming convention for the Piano Key Weirs geometrical parameters

Michel Pirotton

Flood management is more than ever an issue for dam designers and engineering consulting firms in charge of rehabilitation works. Piano Key Weirs are a new cost-effective type of spillway designed to improve dams discharge capacity. These structures are pa ...

2D numerical flow modeling in a macro-rough channel

Anton Schleiss, Tobias Meile, Michel Pirotton

A 2D numerical flow model, developed at the Research unit of Hydrology, Applied Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Constructions at ULg, has been applied to flows in a macro-rough channel. The model solves the shallow water equations (SWE) with a two length scale ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of flow instabilities in rectangular shallow basins

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush, Michel Pirotton

Free surface flows in several shallow rectangular basins have been analyzed experimentally, numerically and theoretically. Different geometries, characterized by different widths and lengths, are considered as well as different hydraulic conditions. First, ...

Flow in shallow rectangular basins: experimental study and 2D numerical simulations

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush, Michel Pirotton

The planning and design of a sustainable reservoir require the accurate prediction of flow and sediment deposition patterns. Numerical simulation of flow in reservoirs is important in order to determine the detailed flow pattern. This typically includes fl ...
