Abstract: A major challenge of prototype air-water flow measurement is the limited endurance of fragile phase-detection needle sensors in a high-momentum flow with risks of debris damage and particulate erosion. In the present study, ...

Abstract: Flow field characterization in high-aerated flows often involves flow imaging techniques through transparent sidewalls, and the results may be subject to sidewall effects and thus differ from the central flow behaviors. ...

Abstract: Offset aerators are a common design for the prevention of cavitation damage to chute spillways. The aeration capacity is linked to the offset air cavity length and jet velocity. Observations suggest that air entrainment ...

Abstract: A hydraulic jump in a stilling basin at the base of spillway is typically characterized by preaerated inflow conditions. This paper presents an experimental study of high-Froude-number hydraulic jumps with different ...
