Experimental Study on Cross-Vane Scour Morphology in Curved Horizontal Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In-stream grade-control hydraulic structures have been employed to reinstate riverbeds, to protect riverbanks, and to improve aquatic habitats. This paper aims to study scour phenomena and morphologies downstream of ...
Scour of Clear Water Rock W-Weirs in Straight Rivers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scour characteristics downstream of rock W-weir structures were studied in a horizontal straight channel and under clear water conditions. For each structure, different hydraulic conditions were considered, including ...
Rooster Tail Wave Hydraulics of Chutes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Supercritical flow below chute piers generates an aerated flow known as rooster tail. Their behavior varies along the spillway or chute for different Froude numbers. This paper aims to analyze the effect of various parameters ...
Clear Water Scour Downstream of Log Deflectors in Horizontal Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stream deflectors are in-stream hydraulic structures that limit the flow channel width, thereby accelerating the flow through the constricted section. Single-wing and double-wing log deflectors are the two most commonly ...
New Prediction Formula for Pore Pressure Distribution inside Rubble-Mound Breakwater Core
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new prediction formula is proposed to determine wave-induced pore pressure height distribution inside the core of rubble-mound breakwaters. Existing observed field and experimental data in the literature have been examined, ...
Scour Features due to Inclined and Curved Rock Sills at River Bends
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rock-sills are instream low-head structures generally used to stabilize the riverbed. Their presence causes the formation of pools and riffles along the river, thus improving the aquatic habitat and creating resting spots ...
Simple Wave Breaking Depth Index Formula for Regular Waves
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A simple formula to determine the wave breaking depth index for regular waves is proposed. In the literature, there are several formulas for determining the breaker depth index, which, over the years, have gradually evolved ...
