Fluvial researchers analysed the diversion discharge for flood mitigation measures through laboratory studies and conventional two-dimensional (2-D) depth-averaged simulations. The existing model was insufficient for simulation of certain phenomena such as flow resistance caused by vegetation branches and leaves and vertical flow distribution around the river corridor. Therefore, we developed a three-dimensional (3-D) vegetation resistance porous model by estimating topography, land cover, and vegetation distribution from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) topo-bathymetry (ALB) data. Results show that the water level and flow regime were more reproducible than by referenced 2-D calculations when compared to space-time image velocimetry (STIV) data and field measurements. The diversion discharge designed using the proposed model is feasible with the current riverbed and vegetation conditions.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"88 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42477902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comprehensive knowledge of stepped chute approach flows on internal air–water flow properties of the hydraulic jump is still too limited for an appropriate design of stilling basins. Therefore, an experimental campaign was performed on a large-scale physical model of a plain stilling basin preceded by a 30° sloping smooth or stepped chute. Stepped chute approach flows induce lower deaeration rates along the jump roller as compared to smooth chute approach flows, indicating longer dimensionless jump lengths, normalized by the tailwater depth. Pronounced bottom air concentrations were observed within the first 40% of the jump length in the stilling basin downstream of the stepped chute. Thus, despite the significantly higher pressure fluctuations, this zone seems better protected against cavitation damage than in stilling basins following a smooth chute.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"51 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46068088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Careful derivations that detail assumptions and approximations relied upon in the formulation are mostly absent. We derive mass, momentum, and energy equations by averaging their small-scale counterparts and formulate forms that are Galilean invariant as required by continuum mechanics. Averaging is over a time increment and a spatial region in a single step, clarifying the need for closure relations. The derivation leads to the Boussinesq tensor and Coriolis vector as rigorous generalizations of the Boussinesq and Coriolis coefficients typically proposed. Examples are provided for the computation of these coefficients from published data. The approach employed here can be extended to systems such as pipe flow or shallow water equations, and the Galilean invariant forms are also suitable for entropy generation analyses.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45040399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the formation of the RVR as the result of a global instability, linear global stability analysis of the time-averaged turbulent flow field has been conducted. For the first time in axial hydraulic turbines, how boundary conditions affect the unstable mode and which frequency, plunging or rotating, is related to the vortex rope instability have been studied. It is found that the flow inside the draft tube is sensitive to the asymmetrical disturbances with a frequency close to the rotational component.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"34 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44141580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such self-similarity is incompatible with the head loss model formulae used in most porosity-based shallow water models. Verifying it experimentally is thus of salient importance. New dam-break flow laboratory experiments are reported, where two different configurations of idealized periodic buildings layouts are explored. A space-time analysis of the experimental water level fields validates the self-similar character of the flow. Simulating the experiment using the two-dimensional shallow water model also yields self-similar period-averaged flow solutions. Then, the Single Porosity (SP), Integral Porosity (IP) and Dual Integral Porosity (DIP) models are applied. Although all three models behave in a similar fashion when the storage and connectivity porosities are close to each other, the DIP model is the one that upscales best the refined 2D solution.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"109 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47332815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new transport equation is generalized for nonuniform suspended sediment based on multi-dispersed two-phase flow theory, to account for nonuniform particle interaction and its effect on sediment suspension. Instead of implementing numerical discretization, constitutive relation of drift velocity is derived by solving the momentum equations with the aid of the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula and the perturbation asymptotic technique. Applied to open channel flows, concentration profiles for each grain size of sediment are derived and a satisfactory consistency is obtained in comparison with both experimental and field data. Nonuniform sediment suspension is attributed to fluid turbulence, gravity, particle inertia and nonuniform particle interaction. The nonuniform effect plays an important role in the vicinity of the riverbed and is positively correlated to sediment concentration and grain size ratios, which helps bring insight into the suspension mechanics.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"67 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43260340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The suspended load concentration and the bed load transport rate is calculated separately, and then the bed variation is updated using the mass-balance equation. A series of flume experiments are employed to validate the model’s performance before being applied for the case of partially emergent spur dikes and submerged spur dikes, respectively.
