The experimental data revealed that suction seepage through the channel side and bed affects the scour depth and deposition height. Under the present experimental conditions, it is found that the maximum reduction of scour depth under vertical suction, side suction and combined suction are 37%, 19% and 21% respectively. The results further demonstrate that the reduction of scour depth at the upstream outer nose of the abutment is more under vertical suction, whereas under side suction, the main influence area is closer to the side wall. However, under combined suction seepage, it is found that the reduction of scour depth is in between vertical suction seepage and side suction seepage. Another important finding is that scour reduction increases with increase in seepage rate.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46479578","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}

This study shows that the wake-parameter can be expressed by the linear equation for the pressure-gradient parameter, under the conditions of the respective Reynolds number and aspect ratio. The dip-parameter can be determined as constants using the known position of the maximum velocity point. When the pressure gradient is relatively small, the wake effect is a boost to velocity. In contrast, when the pressure gradient is relatively large, the wake effect is an impediment to velocity.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48395583","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}

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and high-speed image system are used to analyse the flow structure evolutions in the droplet impact cavity period and bubble entrainment cavity period, respectively. The photographic results show that the entrapped surface of the impact cavity remains intact and continuous, and individual bubble entrainment occurs during the secondary entrainment cavity evolution. The instantaneous distributions of velocity fields in the longitudinal and lateral directions are uniform and independent of the approaching impact velocity. For the entrainment cavity evolution, the transverse diffusion intensity is higher than that for the impact cavity period. An individual bubble forms during the transverse velocity penetration across the droplet impact area. Consequently, for the droplet impact on a water surface, the present study implies the presence of a mechanism by which the interior flow field plays a key role in the bubble entrainment.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46237471","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}

Previous studies are largely empirical, providing only correlations of experimental data. At present, it is not clear what difference exists in the physical mechanisms of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) wall jet scour. This study first summarizes previous efforts for predicting wall jet scour depths. Then, a scaling analysis is presented for investigating scour depths by applying the phenomenological theory of turbulence. It is shown that for wall jet cases, the dimensionless equilibrium scour depth can generally be expressed as a power function of the densimetric Froude number and relative roughness height, with the power index depending on jet configurations. The predictions of scour depth using the resulting formulas agree well with published data. The present analysis provides new insights into the understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms of wall jet scour as well as the difference between 2D and 3D configurations.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43949124","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}

In this PSM-DBM, the two-dimensional 16 velocity levels scheme is adopted and the finite difference method is used to solve the governing equation. Then, the PSM-DBM has been applied to simulate four cases, i.e. such as steady flow in a bending channel, the flow past a stationary cylinder, a jet-forced flow in a circular basin and flow in a meandering channel with 90° consecutive bends. The simulated results have been compared with the experiments and the simulation by traditional numerical simulation. The study shows that the agreement between simulation and experiments is good. It is demonstrated that the PSM-DBM is stable and accurate to deal with the curved boundaries. Moreover, the implementation of the PSM is relatively straightforward in treating stationary curved geometries and is easy to be incorporated into the DBM for shallow water flows. In conclusion, the proposed PSM-DBM can be used widely for flows with curved boundaries.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44998132","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}

Both the improved and traditional operators are implemented into the hydro-sediment-morphodynamic modelling framework. The model with these operators is applied to simulate experimental levee-breaching processes induced by overtopping flows.

Three limits are defined to classify the amount of the rock weir dislodgement: (1) limit I indicates the incipient dislodgement of rock from downstream weir toe; (2) limit II indicates that a few rocks are dislodged from downstream weir face and weir crest; (3) limit III indicates that large numbers of rocks are dislodged from downstream weir face and weir crest, which leads to weir failure.

The volume-averaged Navier–Stokes equations together with the volume-averaged energy equation are solved numerically in the vegetated region. Submerged vegetation has an equivalent porosity of 0.85. The vegetation length is either equal to the total or half the sloping region. A differential cooling is applied at the top free surface with a varying heat loss rate between the two regions. The non-vegetated sloping water body is also considered for validation purposes. The results indicate that, when cooling is reduced in the vegetated region (a) there is a time delay for the establishment of the quasi-steady regime and (b) the exchange flow rate and the gravity current's velocity decreases with increasing vegetation length.

The test results show that through the recirculating flume at a negative temperature environment, the model test platform can simulate the icing process under a long-distance water delivery situation. The water temperature decreases with the increase of delivery distance and operating time. The formation of ice cover begins from the growth of border ice; however, the static formation of ice cover is rapid, but the dynamic formation of ice cover shows an obvious process of border ice lateral growth.
