In addition to its empirically demonstrated connection to aeration inception, this paper shows that one form of a roughness Froude number has a strong relation to the transition between nappe and skimming flow regimes of stepped chutes, while another combines the dimensionless flow friction factor and the relative submergence of roughness elements.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"173 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47687914","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 density of water is considered nonlinear with temperature, but linear with salinity.

The results demonstrated that the initial wave height of a negative surge could be accurately predicted using the simple wave solution of the Saint–Venant equations. Moreover, the wave height evolution during surge propagation could be satisfactorily described using the solution by Ippen and Kulin. The main characteristics of an undular surge were strongly correlated to the surge Froude number and turbulent boundary layer development at the toe of the surge. However, the occurrence of wave breaking at the first wave crest was independent of the inflow conditions and was close to the breaking criterion for solitary waves. Furthermore, the present results indicated the largest turbulent Reynolds stress components beneath the wave crests of an undular surge.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"183 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48665241","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}

Experiments were run for seven levels of vegetation coverage with square patches of flexible plastic grass in aligned and staggered configurations and a wide range of hydraulic conditions. Hydraulic resistance was substantially higher for staggered than aligned configurations, particularly for intermediate ranges of vegetation coverage. The results indicate that hydraulic resistance differs between regimes of isolated roughness flow, wake interference flow, and skimming flow. Two types of models are proposed to predict hydraulic resistance (i.e. Manning’s coefficient n) for aligned and staggered configurations, one as a function of the nondimensional spatially-averaged hydraulic radius and another as a function of relative submergence and surface area blockage factor. To account for the effects of vegetation patch alignment, an additional factor α is introduced. This work provides comprehensive datasets and models that can be used to improve the prediction of hydraulic resistance in open-channel flows with vegetation patches.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"220 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42335620","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 introduction of the Shields diagram by Hoffmans and Van Rijn (2018) to model the pipe resistance is considered as a step forward. On the other hand, the analyses show that the SD model assumptions regarding the distribution of groundwater flow to the pipe and the polder determine the scaling effects and hence the higher Hc for field conditions. The DgFlow simulations presented here do not support those assumptions. This Discussion also reveals the need for systematic experimental research into scale effects of backward erosion piping, not only effects on the average gradient but also on pipe geometry and pipe flow conditions.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"164 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43353641","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 convective heat transfer and transient wall shear stresses are considered. The resulting predictions are compared both to those obtained via a conventional empirical polytropic model and to experimental data. The comprehensive model accurately reproduces the experimental pressure oscillations. Results reveal that the dynamic behaviour of air pockets in all tested cases approaches a purely adiabatic process over the first two oscillations, but also that the pressure variation then gradually evolves to an isothermal variation. Moreover, the high air temperatures predicted in the numerical simulations account for the observed phenomenon of white mist in the pipe as well as the notably hot pipe wall. Significantly, the conventional empirical polytropic model associated with the adiabatic assumption for the gas phase was sufficient to reproduce the pressures and temperatures during the first two oscillations.","PeriodicalId":54802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydraulic Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"120 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42940834","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}
