Abstract: Developing the head-power-discharge relationship for a low-head hydroelectric turbine requires accurate measurements of discharge through the unit. Discharge measurements are commonly determined using some type of velocity-area ...

Abstract: A mathematical model to simulate the supercooling process and frazil ice evolution is developed from previous models. It incorporates improvements for the physical process of initial seeding, ice particle growth, secondary ...

Abstract: An experimental study of new proposed stepped-spillway configurations using sills or baffles on the step treads with sharp or rounded brinks is introduced to investigate the location of and the flow depth at inception point ...

Abstract: A new approach for studying forced hydraulic jumps below abrupt symmetric and asymmetric expansions is introduced. Intensive experiments for two expansion ratios, one asymmetry ratio, and different solid sill heights and ...

Abstract: A counterrotating flume housed in a cold room was used to study anchor ice growth. The rate of anchor ice growth was monitored and quantified over time using a digital image processing system. The laboratory experiments ...
