A new criterion for identifying the above two bores is then proposed with respect to these two parameters, whose influence on the undular bore profile is then discussed. For the theoretical solution with a small damping, error after introducing the variable speed parameter is limited. A large speed parameter corresponds to a wide range of acceptable dampings. From the energy perspective, it is confirmed that the speed parameter also denotes the nonlinearity effect. In addition, comparison between the theoretical and experimental results shows the superiority of the present model over the traditional model, which also reveals the physical meanings of the present model.","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":"46014273","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 the present study, effects of bed obstacles with different heights on the behaviour of inclined negatively buoyant jets (INBJs), including dilution and spatial characteristics, are experimentally investigated using the light attenuation (LA) optical method. Present experiments show that as the confinement induced by the bed and obstacle intensifies, the maximum normalized jet centreline dilution decreases up to 40%. As the jet approaches the obstacle, spreading along the inner and outer edges of the jet increases. The present results also show that upstream of the maximum height point, the jet is not considerably sensitive to the bed obstacle since the momentum dominates the jet behaviour. However, the jet dilution in regions downstream the maximum height point reduces when the obstacle is present.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42433899","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 magnitude of the piping erosion time significantly determines the risk of failure of water defences. The time-scale equation is based on a sediment mass balance equation and appropriate bedload transport predictors, assuming the erosion process to be continuous. We argue that the flow is laminar for pipes in sandy aquifers and turbulent for pipes in gravel aquifers. We then account for aquifer composition in examining pipe erosion by discussing different bedload transport predictors for each flow regime. To estimate the turbulence intensity, we have used and modified the Einstein bedload transport theory. The time-scale relation includes the effects of meander bends and has been tested for some experiments on a small scale and on a large scale.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41939329","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 paper studies the influence of baffle structures and of fill-and-draw cycles on water mixing and renewal in rectangular cross-section tanks through laboratory tracer tests carried out in two small-scale tanks (with and without baffles) and compares with results from a full-scale test. This study shows that the use of baffles inhibits water mixing and keeps older water pockets in small recirculation zones, though baffles allow faster water renewal than in open tanks for lower flow rates. High water volume variation in fill-and-draw cycles (between 50% to 80%) promotes water renewal, independently of the tank configuration (i.e. cross-section and the existence of baffles). Despite the existing baffle structure in the full-scale rectangular tank with 20% water volume variation, the high flow rates allowed a rapid renewal of the stored water.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47721407","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 vertical and transverse turbulent diffusion contribute appreciably to transverse shear dispersion, and the direct contribution of transverse turbulent diffusion to transverse mixing is important for a range of conditions commonly observed in natural channels. A comparison of predicted and measured transverse mixing coefficients supports including turbulent diffusion in analyses of transverse mixing – both in its effect on shear dispersion and as a direct mechanism of transport.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42288136","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}

We conducted simulations with different solid volume fractions (SVFs) of the square cylinder array ( ). The effects of these configurations on flow characteristics were analyzed. Periodic drag fluctuation was observed when the SVF was small since the distance between the square cylinder was large, and the vortex shedding occurred with impact from other cylinders. No significant fluctuation in the drag was observed over time when the SVF was large. The minimum distance between the square cylinders was used to measure the degree of vortex shedding and reflect the relationship between the square cylinder position and the drag fluctuation.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43079417","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}

Measurements were focused on the jump toe oscillations, jump roller length, and air–water flow property distributions. Comparison of the results with literature data under non-aerated inflow conditions suggested overall insignificant pre-aeration effects on the investigated air–water flow properties, although some comparative analyses were subject to scale effects.
