Abstract: The present paper provides an experimental study of standing waves generated by piers in chute spillways. The wave pattern is described with the coordinates at the wave beginning, at the section of maximum wave height, and ...

Abstract: Supercritical flow in chute bends is considered both theoretically and experimentally. The conventional approach is found to apply to small relative curvature only. The knowledge is extended to large bend numbers, and a ...

Abstract: Contractions with supercritical flow generate shockwaves requiring significantly larger wall heights than predicted by one-dimensional flow equations. Three distinct waves in a straight-walled contraction may be identified: ...
