Scour Control Downstream of Block Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scour control downstream of a hydraulic structure is an important topic in river engineering. A block ramp is a structure that can be built with a low-environmental impact stilling basin realized by means of a sill that ...
Effect of Stilling Basin Geometry on Clear Water Scour Morphology Downstream of a Block Ramp
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scour mechanism downstream of a block ramp in clear water conditions is quite a complex phenomenon that depends on several parameters. Majors role are played by ramp configuration, hydraulic conditions (downstream ...
Influence of Tailwater Depth and Pile Position on Scour Downstream of Block Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scour control downstream of hydraulic structures is an important topic in hydraulic engineering. Block ramps or rock chutes are often used to control scour downstream of hydraulic structures and have the peculiarity to be ...
Effect of Stilling Basin Geometry on the Dissipative Process in the Presence of Block Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The dissipative process that occurs in the presence of a hydraulic structure is a major topic in river engineering. The energy dissipation has to be correctly evaluated to prevent structural stability risks and to optimize ...
Teaching Hydraulics and Hydraulic Structure Design with Leonardo da Vinci
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Leonardo da Vinci is a fascinating and inspiring person, and is called a universal genius for his large variety of scientific and artistic interests and contributions, including military engineering, sculpture, painting, ...
Discussion of “Block Ramp Design for Efficient Energy Dissipation” by A. D. Ghare, R. N. Ingle, P. D. Porey, and S. S. Gokhale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Scour around Double-Winged Log Frames under Clear Water Condition
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In-stream low-head hydraulic structures are eco-friendly solutions to maintain the natural aquatic ecosystems. This study focused on scour characteristics around double-winged log -frames under different hydraulic conditions ...
Theoretical Approach for Shear-Stress Estimation at 2D Equilibrium Scour Holes in Granular Material due to Subvertical Plunging Jets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The estimation of flow-induced shear stresses acting on the surface of scour holes still represents a challenge for scientists and engineers. From the practical point of view, excessive shear stresses can lead to significant ...
Scour due to Crossing Jets at Fixed Vertical Angle
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plunge pool scour is an important topic in hydraulic structures design. Numerous studies have been done in past years to understand the scour phenomenon due to plunging jets. These studies finally aimed at reducing the ...
Energy Dissipation on Submerged Block Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Block ramps represent structures that produce high energy dissipation and have a unique characteristic of preserving the ecological balance in a river restoration project. The energy dissipation of a block ramp changes ...
