Abstract: In this paper, the flow and bed shear stresses downstream of a tidal barrage, with open ducts and with swirl created by stators and rotors, are investigated experimentally. The wake created by open ducts is significantly ...

Abstract: The flow through and downstream of a row of seven open draft tubes in a barrage has been investigated through laboratory experiments in a wide flume, a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics simulation, and a ...
