Experimental Study on Hydraulic Parameters of Vertical Drops Equipped to Horizontal Screen with Different Relative Distances

Authors

Abstract:

The present study aimed to investigate and compare the laboratory results of energy dissipation and length of vertical Drops equipped with horizontal Screens with the results of standard stilling basins of type one, two, three and four simple vertical Drops. For this purpose, 64 different experiments were performed on vertical Drops equipped with a horizontal Screen at relative distances of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 from the edge of Drops, with a porosity of 40 and 50% of the Screen and a height of 20 cm .The results showed that in all experiments and at a constant flow, increasing the distance of the Screen from the edge of Drops does not have much affect the energy dissipation of the current. On average, the downstream energy dissipation for the present study has increased by more than 20% compared to the simple vertical Drop, which can be an excellent alternative to the downstream stilling basin. Among the models of the present study, the most significant reduction in the relative length of the Drops was achieved by the vertical Drops model with a horizontal Screen with a relative distance of 0.75. On average, when using horizontal Screen at four relative distances from the edge of Drops, the relative length of the Drops is reduced by more than 73% compared to the vertical Drops equipped with a standard stilling basin.

Experimental Study of Vortex Shapes behind a Wing Equipped with Different Winglets

An extensive experimental study is conducted to examine effects of different winglet-shapes and orientations on the vortex behind a wing, static surface pressure over the wing, and wing wake of a swept wing at various angles of attack. Four types of winglets, spiroid (forward and aft), blended, and winggrid are used in this investigation. Wing static surface pressure measurements are obtained f...

Performance Model for Vertical Wells with Multi-stage Horizontal Hydraulic Fractures in Water Flooded Multilayer Reservoirs

For the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

Geochemical Modeling with the Use of Vertical and Horizontal Relative Concentrations of Oil Compounds for the Heavy Oil Fields

The purpose of this study is the detection of lateral and vertical gradients of relative concentrations of compounds presented in oil. In addition, the detection allows us to assess potential drainage zones in a reservoir during the reservoir production by steam injection. In this paper, a new method for monitoring of steam chamber development in a 2D model was created and tested. The methodol...

Experimental Study of the Effect of Hydraulic Parameters on Debris Flow Control in Inclined Slit Trapezoidal Check Dams

Check dams are one of the structures used to control debris flows. In this study, in order to evaluate the effect of hydraulic parameters on debris sediment trapping rate by the slit trapezoidal check dams with different angles, and to develop an empirical relation for determination of trapping coefficient of the dam reservoirs, three physical models of the check dams were used. The tests were ...
