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 ...

Abstract: Interaction between the free surface and the bed material in flow over rock chutes under macroroughness conditions leads to a high air entrainment into the flow. The note reports on an experimental study about air diffusion ...

Abstract: Rock chutes or block ramps are fishway passages with low environmental impact. They also contribute to reaeration of rivers with low dissolved oxygen content, owing to the turbulence enhanced by their three-dimensional ...
