Experimental study of a positive surge . Part 1 : basic flow patterns and wave attenuation

چکیده
A positive surge results from a sudden change in flow that increases the depth. It is the unsteady flow analogy of the stationary hydraulic jump and a geophysical application is the tidal bore. Positive surges are commonly studied using the method of characteristics and the Saint-Venant equations. The article presents the results from new experimental investigations conducted in a large rectangular channel. Detailed unsteady velocity measurements were performed with a high temporal resolution using acoustic Doppler velocimetry and non-intrusive free-surface measurement devices. Several experiments were conducted with the same initial discharge (Q = 0.060m3/s) and six different gate openings after closure resulting in both non-breaking undular and breaking bores. The analysis of undular surges revealed wave amplitude attenuation with increasing distance of surge propagation were in agreement with Ippen and Kulin theory. Also, undular wave period and wave length data were relatively close to the values predicted by the wave dispersion theory for gravity waves in intermediate water depths.
