Hydraulic control of stratified exchange flows
نویسنده
چکیده
Continuously stratified exchange flows occur in channels connecting stratified reservoirs and between homogeneous basins when interfacial mixing is significant. Hydraulic control is difficult to evaluate under these conditions. Solutions of the sixth order stability equation applied to data from a numerical simulation are used to demonstrate that internal waves cannot carry interfacial information from one end of the channel to the other. It is argued from this that the sixth order stability equation may be useful as a diagnostic for determining the hydraulic state of a stratified exchange flow.

Combined PIV-LIF measurements of two layer flows: analysis of mixing processes over different bottom macro-roughness
This study presents preliminary results on the application of combined Particle Image Velocimetry – Laser Induced Fluorescence measurements to characterize flow and mixing processes of stratified flows at laboratory scale. Laboratory experiments were conducted with two different bottom configuration and two hydraulic submergences showing the influence of these aspects in the exchange flows.
متن کاملAn experimental study on hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flow in coarse-grained porous media
The equations of fluids in porous media are very useful in designing the rockfill and diversion dams, gabions, breakwaters and ground water reserves. Researches have been showed that the Forchheimer equation is not sufficient for the analysis of hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flows; because, in these flows, in addition to the hydraulic gradient and velocity, the variable of radius is...

This paper presents an effective quasi one-dimensional (1-D) computational simulation methodology and some important results for steady annular/stratified (or film wise) internal condensing flows of pure vapor. Though the approach is strictly valid for smooth, laminar vapor/laminar condensate flows, it is also approximately valid for laminar condensate and turbulent vapor which are laminar in t...
متن کاملExchange Flows through a Long Shallow Channel
Little Sodus Bay (LSB), a freshwater embayment along the coast of Lake Ontario (LO, North America), is used as a canonical lake–embayment system to investigate the effects of unsteadiness and viscosity on the generally assumed inviscid flow between two reservoirs through a topographic constriction. It is determined, through a scaling analysis based on field observations, that for this general c...
