Abstract: Dropshafts are commonly used as flood discharge structures in urban drainage systems and hydraulic structures. Plunging and vortex flows are the two main flow regimes occurring in the dropshaft with a tangential intake. ...

Abstract: The partial-flip bucket is successfully applied to a spillway outlet design with an approximately 50  m/s flow velocity in Jinping-I Dam in Sichuan, China. The specific design of a part-flipped area on a floor results in ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic pressures on a plunge pool floor due to submerged aerated jets are of interest in many engineering fields. For the present study, dynamic pressures on a deep plunge pool floor due to submerged inclined jets ...

Abstract: Low-level outlets are essential flood discharge structures for high-head dams. High-speed free-surface flows releasing into tunnels lead to substantial air discharge, and the air supply is important for gate vibration ...

Abstract: There has been little study on the microscopic bubble entrainment and diffusion process on high-speed self-aerated flows, although the problem under investigation is theoretically important and has important engineering ...
