Abstract: Gated spillways are used to control flow in canals, rivers, and estuaries. Despite their widespread use, available flow ratings at these gated structures are largely derived from reduced-scale laboratory models. In this ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of frazil ingestion by submerged water intakes located offshore in frigid water. It is well known that intakes under such conditions are prone to blockage by frazil, small ice crystals that ...

Abstract: A calibrated flow rating equation is often used to determine the flow rate through a hydraulic structure as a convenient and relatively inexpensive method to avoid the difficulties of direct discharge measurements in an ...

Abstract: Water control operations in South Florida often involve the estimation of transition flow at low-head gated spillways for flood control, water supply, and water quality compliance purposes. Approaches to nontransitional ...

Abstract: High-strength Cu–25Zn–5Al–3Fe–3Mn brass has broad applications as a wear-resistant copper alloy, while its tribological behavior at high temperatures has not yet been well investigated. In this paper, the tribological ...
