Open channel hydraulics
نویسنده
چکیده
This course of 15 lectures provides an introduction to open channel hydraulics, the generic name for the study of flows in rivers, canals, and sewers, where the distinguishing characteristic is that the surface is unconfined. This means that the location of the surface is also part of the problem, and allows for the existence of waves – generally making things more interesting! At the conclusion of this subject students will understand the nature of flows and waves in open channels and be capable of solving a wide range of commonly encountered problems.

Assessment of Turbulent Models in Computation of Strongly Curved Open Channel Flows
Several rigorous turbulent models have been developed in the past years and it can be seen that more research is needed to reach a better understanding of their generality and precision by verifying their applications for distinct hydraulic phenomena; under certain assumptions. This survey evaluates the performance of Standard k-ε, Realizable k-ε, RNG k-ε, k-ω and RSM models in predicting flow ...
متن کاملThermal-Hydraulics analysis of pressurized water reactor core by using single heated channel model
Thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactor as a basis of reactor safety has a very important role in reactor design and control. The thermal-hydraulic analysis provides input data to the reactor-physics analysis, whereas the latter gives information about the distribution of heat sources, which is needed to perform the thermal-hydraulic analysis. In this study single heated channel model as a very f...
متن کاملComputational Hydraulics
The aim is to give an understanding of the numerical approximation and solution of physical systems, especially in open channel hydraulics, but with more general application in hydraulics and fluid mechanics generally. The marriage of hydraulics and computations has not always been happy, and often unnecessarily complicated methods have been developed and used, when a little more computational ...

Acoustic Doppler velocity meters �ADVMs� provide an alternative to more traditional flow measurement devices and proce dures such as flumes, weirs, and stage rating for irrigation and drainage canals. However, the requirements for correct calibration are extensive and complex. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics �CFD� model was used to design a subcritical rapidly varied flow cont...
متن کاملHydraulic aspects of environmental flood management in boreal conditions
In environmental flood management, an essential task is to improve channel conveyance using environmentally preferable methods, which aim to preserve natural morphological and hydraulic characteristics of a river. This requires a reliable channel design method that accounts for complex hydraulics, i.e. two-stage channel or considerable bank vegetation. Hydraulic field measurements were carried ...
