The study of water enterainment of plung region in density currents

The Study of river water quality interation with lakes and dam reservoirs is important from anexploitation point of view. When river water with different densities enters a lake or dam reservoir,underflow density current phenomenon occurs. Because of the density, so understandingdifferent arrays of this phenomenon Seems necessary for checking erosion and sedimentationprocesses and their management in dams reservoir. one of the important arrays in densitycurrent phenomena is the enterainment of ambient water caused by the underflow density current.In this research, enterainment in plunging region for this flows studied by the physical model andchecking three parameters: entrance flow's Concentration, bed slop, and entrance discharge.Experiments were performed in a flume With 9.75 m length, 50 cm in width and 80 cm height, threeslops and four concentration, with different discharges. The experimental results indicated that bedslop had a direct influences on the enterainment rate of ambient water in the plunging region.
