Abstract: The concept of “feedback” is introduced into potential free surface flow to derive a new and simple iterative method termed the residual pressure feedback method that is used for computing free surface profile. The residual ...

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: A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the influence of aeration on plane jet scour. The scour holes caused by the aerated and the nonaerated jets were compared under the same conditions of jet velocity, water ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: The total dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation that results from dam spillage may cause adverse effects, including increases in the risk of gas-bubble disease and mortality in fish. The accurate prediction of TDG levels is ...
