During the design of CAMEA extensive simulations and cinematic calculations were performed to explore the waste parameter space. These have led to a far better understanding of the instrument performance as well as new ideas to improve the instrument. Many ...
CAMEA is a new instrument concept so it is possible that the construction could or maintenance of the instrument would be hampered by technical details. In order to prevent this a technical predesign have been performed. This is not a final technical solut ...
Confluences are the nodes of the fluvial network. They are typically characterized by highly heterogeneous conditions that are favorable for a sound fluvial ecosystem, and play a key role in the connectivity of the river system. During the past centuries, ...
CAMEA is a novel instrument concept, thus the performance has not been explored. Furthermore it is a complex instrument using many analyser arrays in a wide angular range. The performance of the instrument has been studied by use of three approaches: McSta ...
The weir is a fundamental structure in hydraulic engineering, serving to retain a water body, to control a water level, facilitate flow diversion, or to measure discharge. Under particular site conditions, the cross-sectional width at the weir location is ...
The cavitation helical vortex rope arising at Francis turbine partial load induces pressure fluctuations at the rope precession frequency, which can be decomposed into two components; the convective one and the synchronous one. The latter acts as an excita ...
Stepped spillways are currently a standard design in hydraulic engineering. Whereas these spillways were hardly employed until the advent to the Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) Technology in the 1980s, they were of particular interest from the 1990s for sp ...
We propose the construction of a highly innovative spectrometer – CAMEA – offering Continuous Angular and Multiple Energy Analysis. Combining indirect time-of flight with multiple consecutive analyser arrays, this instrument will provide massive flux on th ...
The implementation of a new type of labyrinth spillway, called PKW (Piano Key Weir) reveals as a performing alternative for increasing the overflow capacity of existing dams. The optimal hydraulic design of such structure is however not obvious due to the ...
Side-channels are a typical element of earth or rockfill dams to discharge floods sideways instead frontally, such as normally adopted for concrete dams. The side channel received attention from the hydraulics community from the 1920s, once the first large ...
