Comparing the Behavior Hydrodynamics Flow Over of Type A, B, and C Piano Key Weirs
The piano key weir (PKW) is a new type of hydraulic structure that has been of great interest to designers in recent years. In the present study, steady flow on the types A, B, and C PKWs was studied numerically using the FLOW-3D numerical model. Upon software validation using the experimental data, the 3D flow pattern on the types A, B, and C PKWs was studied, and along with the evaluation of ...
متن کاملEstimation of A-type Piano Key weir rating curve
The Piano Key weir (PKW) is a hydraulically attractive alternative to linear overflow weirs, increasing the unit discharge for similar heads and spillway widths. This advantage allows operating dam reservoirs on an increased level and provides thereby an enhanced retention volume. It is a result of the non-linear nature of PKWs being folded back and forth to make repeating cycles or keys. As PK...
متن کاملExperimental study of Hydraulic Flow of Circular Piano-Key Inlet in Shaft Spillways
One of the most important conflicts that shaft spillways have to deal with is vortex formation. This phenomenon leads to some unfavorable effects such as vibration in the body of structures, air entrainment and reduced overflow capacity of the spillway. Among all solutions for disrupted vortex formation, an innovative one called circular piano-key spillway, based upon piano key weir principles ...
متن کاملOverview of Piano Key weir prototypes and scientific model investigations
The interest in Piano Key weirs (PKW) was increasing over the past years, both in terms of application and hydraulic research. Several systematic model test series were performed and published so far, originating from different hydraulic laboratories around the world. Therein, the key geometric parameters dominating the hydraulic capacity of PKWs were identified as developed crest length, trans...
متن کاملA laboratory investigation on the potential of computational intelligence approaches to estimate the discharge coefficient of piano key weir
The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...
