Physical modelling and scale effects of air-water flows on stepped spillways
During the last three decades, the introduction of new construction materials (e.g. RCC (Roller Compacted Concrete), strengthened gabions) has increased the interest for stepped channels and spillways. However stepped chute hydraulics is not simple, because of different flow regimes and importantly because of very-strong interactions between entrained air and turbulence. In this study, new air-...
متن کاملScale Effects in Moderate Slope Stepped Spillways Experimental Studies in Air-Water Flows
Air-water flow measurements were conducted in two large-size stepped chute facilities (θ = 3.4 & 16o) to study experimental distortion caused by scale effects and result extrapolation to prototypes. The stepped geometries corresponded to moderate slopes typical of embankment dams and storm waterways. Experimental data included distributions of air concentration, air-water flow velocity, bubble ...
متن کاملScale Effects in Modelling Two-phase Air-water Flows
Beside analytical approaches, physical modelling represents probably the oldest design tool in hydraulic engineering. For free surface flows, the similitude according to a Froude similarity allows for a correct representation of the dominant forces, namely gravity and inertia. In parallel, fluid constants such as the surface tension and the viscosity might be incorrectly reproduced, affecting t...
متن کاملScale Effects in High-velocity Air-water Flows on a Stepped Spillway
A comparative analysis of air-water flow properties was performed between two geometrically scaled stepped spillway models with step height of 5 and 10 cm respectively. The experiments were conducted in the same large size facility with chute slope of 26.6° and with the same phase-detection intrusive measurement devices. A full range of macroand microscopic air-water flow properties was tested ...
متن کاملExperimental study of air-water turbulent flow structures on stepped spillways
Stepped chute flows are characterized by intense turbulence and strong flow aeration, but most studies did not investigate the turbulence characteristics. In this study, highly turbulent air-water flows skimming down a large-size stepped chute were systematically investigated. An experimental study of detailed air-water flow properties measurements were introduced in different types of flow reg...
