Experimental study of Hydraulic Flow of Circular Piano-Key Inlet in Shaft Spillways
Authors
Abstract:
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 has not been noticed as well as other solutions. Hence, in this study, experiments were conducted on circular piano-key spillway models. Results showed that in a constant head, the greater amounts of discharge have been measured for circular piano key inlet with an angle of 90 degrees. Comparison between discharge coefficients of three circular piano key inlet models showed that for a constant amount of H/D (Head/Diameter), circular piano key inlet with an angle of 90, 60 and 45 degrees have the greater amount of discharge coefficients, respectively. Experiment results indicated that circular piano-key spillway (with an angle of 90 degrees) increases overflow discharge capacity about 15.16% compared with shaft spillway. Among circular piano key inlets, the model with an angle of 90 degrees has the best hydraulic performance.

The flow fields over a trapezoidal labyrinth weir (two-cycle) and a piano key weir were simulated using Flow3D, studying the impact of each model on the flow field in the weirs and the coefficient of discharge in comparison with the available experimental data. Moreover, the models were investigated experimentally in a 12.5 m long, 0.3 m wide, and 0.4 m high rectangular flume under clear-water ...

Morning glory spillway is one of the spillways that used to passing of flood from high to low level. This spillway is used in the reservoir dams that are placed in narrow valleys and in many locations with high slope in reservoir walls. In the Morning glory spillways, the vortex flow can reduce discharge, discharge coefficient and the performance of spillway. The zigzag spillway, as another typ...

In this research, by using FLOW3D, the performance of non-linear (arced) piano key (PKW-NL) in plan and linear piano key weir (PKW-L), with equal length of weir, was compared. Results showed that nonlinearity of the weir caused 20% increase in the discharge coefficient. Investigating the velocity contours for these two weir models also showed that maximum velocity within the PKW-NL weir structu...
