Abstract: Vortex-settling basins (VSBs) have been constructed with support columns under the deflector to enhance the structural stability of the deflector. This paper presents a retrofit for such columned VSBs by installing vanes ...

Abstract: This paper presents a retrofit for vortex settling basins (VSBs) by perforating the deflector to reduce sediment deposition and thereby lowering VSB failure risks. Experiments were conducted for two retrofitted VSBs with ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical study of mass transfer from a single bubble rising in stagnant water and its size variation. A model for bubble–water mass transfer was established and validated using the experimental ...

Abstract: An experimental study on the breakup of a turbulent round-water jet in still air with a nozzle Reynolds number of 145,600 and Weber number of 10,400 is reported. The visual structure of the falling water jet was recorded ...

Abstract: Energy dissipation is one of the main considerations in the design of drop manholes and is closely related to the flow regimes observed. Four flow regimes in a drop manhole are classified according to different flow ...

Abstract: This study experimentally investigated the axis switching of free-falling water jets issued from an elliptical nozzle with an aspect ratio of 1.6. High-speed photography was used to capture the flow behaviors. The ...

Abstract: Theoretical and laboratory studies were presented for the water column oscillation in a vertical tube partially immersed in a reservoir. Three types of oscillations were studied, with the top of the tube being fully open ...

Abstract: This paper designs and builds a stormwater pipe-river/channel experimental system at the first attempt to observe hydraulic dynamics between pipe flow and downstream water levels under different steady state conditions. ...
