Abstract: The lateral outflow mechanism of side weirs is investigated using a one‐dimensional approach. In particular, the effects of flow depth, approaching velocity, lateral outflow direction and side weir channel shape are included, ...

Abstract: Hydraulic flow characteristics for vortex shafts are investigated for subcritical approach conditions. The analysis is based on Pica's approach by simplifying considerably his procedure. Using appropriate scalings the ...

Abstract: As a modification of the currently recommended U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (W.E.S.) standard spillway crest profile, a crest geometry of which the curvature is continuous is proposed. Such a ...

Abstract: The hydraulic jump in U-shaped channels is investigated. The conventional momentum approach is found to slightly overestimate the sequent depth ratio. The jump length, the characteristics of the free surface profiles, and ...

Abstract: Hydraulic jumps at abrupt bottom drops in rectangular, prismatic channels are either A-jumps (downstream controlled), B-jumps (upstream controlled), or undular jumps (transition between the two). B-jumps are investigated ...

Abstract: Plane flow with moderately curved and involved bounding streamlines is investigated by accounting for the transverse variations of the velocities. The result is a highly nonlinear version of the corresponding Boussinesg ...

Abstract: Using both a theoretical and an experimental approach, the main flow features in junctions with thoroughly supercritical flows are considered. The junctions are characterized by rectangular channels of equal branch width ...
