[ 1 ] - Determination of Principal Permeabilities in Two-Dimensional Fissured Rocks Using Permeability Circle (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Among the many parameters affecting the design of hydraulic structures on fissured rocks are orientation of principal permeability axes and degree of anisotropy of fissured rocks. Geological explorations rarely provide this type of information. If at all the information is available, methods employed are computationally cumbersome and inefficient. A new concept of simple equations and geometric...

[ 2 ] - Constriction Scour In Pressurized Flow Condition (RESEARCH NOTE)

When depth of flow past a river bridge exceeds opening under the bridge, the flow under the bridge becomes pressurized. The water is directed downward and under the bridge deck, causing increase in velocity and shear stress on the bed thereby increasing bed scour. This is termed as Pressure Flow Scour. The present study investigates the phenomenon of pressure flow scour resulting from a submerg...

[ 3 ] - New Stilling Basins Designs for Deep Rectangular Outlets

The experimental study reported here is intended to evolve new designs of stilling basins for deep and narrow openings used as outlets. Several appurtenances such as grid, Impact wall, stepped wall, weir wall, sloping end sill and wedge shaped blocks are used to study their influence on the hydraulic performance of the stilling basins with an aim to propose efficient stilling basin models. All ...
