Abstract: An experimental study on a large model flume using fiber-optical instrumentation indicated that the onset of skimming flow is a function of critical depth, chute angle, and step height. Uniform mixture depths that determine ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of supercritical uniform and gradually varied open channel flows is presented for a wide range of Froude numbers and flume width-to-flow depth aspect ratios. The instantaneous streamwise and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an intrinsic approach to estimate air entrainment rates due to intake vortices based on large-scale laboratory measurements. Quasi-continuous measurements of the amount of entrained air were conducted ...

Abstract: Low-level outlets are key safety elements of reservoir dams, especially for structures with high heads. Their main purpose is the regulation and—if required—rapid drawdown of the reservoir water level in case of maintenance ...

Abstract: Impulse wave trains are generated by subaerial landslides, rockfalls, or avalanches impacting a water body. Especially in engineered reservoirs, the run-up of waves with small relative heights is critical due to the small ...
