Abstract: The critical submergence for a group of multiple pipe intakes is predicted using a “superposition method” based on a potential flow solution. Experiments on groups of two, three, and four intakes were conducted. Experimental ...

Abstract: Low-head hydraulic structures, like weirs or barrages, are constructed on rivers for irrigation or power-generation purposes. As the upstream water level rises due to these structures, it is necessary to build an ...

Abstract: The critical submergence for dual rectangular intakes with no partition walls was investigated. To predict this critical submergence, the same principles as the available superposition methods developed for multiple pipe ...
