Abstract: Transitions form a vital link in the canals constructed for irrigation and power‐generation purposes. As expansive transitions involve considerable head loss, any reduction of head loss will mean more power generation at ...

Abstract: Open‐channel transitions involving an expansion of width are a common feature of canals and flumes. Subcritical flow through an expansion transition can result in significant head loss due to separation of flow and subsequent ...

Abstract: Open‐channel expansions for subcritical flows are encountered in the design of hydraulic structures such as aqueducts, superpassages, and so on. In these structures the flow tends to separate while subjected to the positive ...

Abstract: Open-channel contractions for subcritical flows are encountered in the design of many hydraulic structures in which flow is flumed for reasons of economy. In all the works associated with fluming of canals, suitable ...
