Design Method of Vanes Controlling Transverse Sediment Discharge

Design Tool for Controlling Runoff and Sediment from Highway Construction

Regulations require that stormwater pollution prevention plans be developed for construction activities that disturb an area that is equal to or greater than one acre. Different strategies, including a combination of practices, can be used to develop these plans. The WATER model was a tool developed from a previous project to assess the effectiveness of different on-site sediment control practi...

Investigation of Submerged Vanes Array for Sediment Control at Intake Using a Physical Model

بررسی اثر زاویه صفحات مستغرق در کنترل رسوب به آبگیر جانبی در قوس ۱۸۰ درجه رودخانه

One of the methods for sediment control in lateral intake can be application of submerged vanes in front of the inlet. The establishment of submerged vanes in flow path causes a flow diversion toward the inner arc. In this research, the performance of submerged vanes on sediment transport to the inlet at 180 degree of intake has been investigated. Several experiments were carried out in a labor...

Investigation of Sediment Discharge Hydro-Induction for Preventing Sediment In Dams (a Review)

Hydro-induction sediment discharge technique (HSDT) aims to prevent reservoir sedimentation by withdrawing the discharge water from the reservoir bottom to suck up and discharge sediments, and by inducing vertical vortexes and undercurrents in the reservoir bay to keep sediments agitated and moving. The technique is facilitated with an innovative discharge conduit system having bottom intakes t...
