Abstract: Slit-check dams are widely employed in mountain river control. However an analysis of their performance in the field is still lacking. In the present work a field verification to evaluate the interaction between solid ...

Abstract: Side weirs are widely used hydraulic structures typically designed and studied in the case of fixed bed conditions. In the case of subcritical flows, the hydraulics of side weirs can be modelled by using the classical De ...

Abstract: A numerical model is proposed to compute one-dimensional open channel flows in natural streams involving steep, nonrectangular, and nonprismatic channels and including subcritical, supercritical, and transcritical flows. ...

Abstract: Side weir flows induce complex three-dimensional (3D) structures on the flow field in the main channel. Extensive experiments at the laboratory scale were conducted in order to investigate the flow field for the particular ...

Abstract: Side weirs are hydraulic structures widely used for flow control in rivers and canals. Whenever the water level rises above the side weir crest elevation, a fraction of the main flow is diverted so that the water discharge ...
