Steady state in experimentally produced turbidity current under a large amount of suspension supply

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura, Jumpei Hitomi

Turbidity current is generated in an inclined lock-gate flume under a large amount of suspension supply. By opening the gate, turbidity current generates and flows to downstream. The turbidity current maintains its interface structure and progresses with c ...

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 ...

Coreless Open-Loop Current Transducers Based On Hall Effect Sensor Csa-1V

Radivoje Popovic

The paper provides an overview of coreless open-loop current transducers based on Hall effect sensor CSA-1V. Depending on the implementation method and current range, the presented transducers are divided in the four groups. The transducers are capable to ...

Hydroacoustic Modeling of a Cavitation Vortex Rope for a Francis Turbine

Christian Landry

Hydraulic machines subject to off-design operation involve the presence of cavitating flow regimes in the draft tube. The cavitation vortex rope at part load conditions is described as an excitation source for the hydraulic system, and interactions between ...

Detection and reconstruction of large-scale coherent flow structures in gravel-bed rivers

Ulrich Lemmin, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

Large-scale flow structures (LSFS) in the streamwise direction are important features of gravel-bed river flows, because they may contribute to sediment transport and gas exchange. In the present study, these structures are detected using Huang's empirical ...

Bulk velocity measurements by video analysis of dye tracer in a macro-rough channel

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Tamara Ghilardi

Steep mountain rivers have hydraulic and morphodynamic characteristics that hinder velocity measurements. The high spatial variability of hydraulic parameters, such as water depth (WD), river width and flow velocity, makes the choice of a representative cr ...

Shear velocity estimates in rough-bed open-channel flow

Ulrich Lemmin, Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

Shear velocity u(*) is an important parameter in geophysical flows, in particular with respect to sediment transport dynamics. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of applying five standard methods [the logarithmic mean velocity profile, the Reyno ...

Flow patterns induced by a bubble screen in a sharply curved flume based on Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler measurements

Anton Schleiss, Koen Blanckaert, Violaine Dugué

Open-channel bends are characterized by a bed morphology where erosion occurs near the outer bank and a point bar develops at the inner bend. This morphology is induced by complex interactions between the streamwise flow, the curvature-induced secondary fl ...

Sediment Suspension Dynamics in Turbulent Unsteady, Depth-Varying Open-Channel Flow over a Gravel Bed

Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

Even though flow in natural rivers and channels is generally unsteady, only a few studies on turbulent structures in unsteady open-channel flows have been carried out. In hydraulic engineering problems, unsteady flow is often approximated with concepts of ...

Secondary Currents and Corresponding Surface Velocity Patterns in a Turbulent Open-Channel Flow over a Rough Bed

Ulrich Lemmin, Ismail Albayrak

River and open-channel flows present complex three-dimensional (3D) structures in the water column and on the surface as a result of the existence of secondary currents driven by either centrifugal force or turbulence. This paper experimentally investigate ...
