Spur dike is a common hydraulic structure, which is widely used in hydraulic engineering such as channel regulation, flood prevention and river diversion for preserving the desired water depth, deflecting the main current and protecting river banks. In actual operations, spur dikes exert influence on river system usually in the form of groups, and the flow field around spur dike group is compli...

In this study a new approach was proposed to determine optimum parameters of a protective spur dike to mitigate scouring depth amount around existing main spur dikes. The studied parameters were angle of the protective spur dike relative to the flume wall, its length, and its distance from the main spur dikes, flow intensity, and the diameters of the sediment particles that were explored to fin...

flow passing through lateral intakes and channel junctions is turbulent. sediment flow and bed forms areaffected by these flow patterns and vice versa. in this research, a laboratory study was carried out toexplore a possible method for sediment control for a set of submerged vanes and a single spur dikesimultaneously. since a larger portion of the near-bed flow was diverted, the intake receive...

the intakes usually have been used in water distribution networks, irrigation channels, sewage networks, and the water/wastewater treatment facilities, etc. lack of sediment control entered to the intake channel is the main reason of entering sediments to the installation systems, which makes many problems for different parts. due to suspended particles in water, the facilities used such as pum...

river banks are exposed to bank erosion and destruction. one of the river engineering goals is to provide human life requirements and reduce river danger. so spreading extent of this phenomenon, whose risk and other important factors must be recognized. using groins is one of the control ways that by accurate design and accurate performance, bank erosion control and field reclamation would be p...

Abstract Spur dike is one of the various technologies utilized in river rehabilitation. provides many advantages, such as promoting aquatic habitat, improving channel for navigation, and protecting stream banks. This study serves to evaluate effect a spur on formation sand bars straight rectangular fed by suspended sediment. The performance inducing investigated under three different angles. A ...

The spur dike is widely used in the waterway renovation project upper reaches of Yangtze River as a remediation structure, but its water destruction very common, and influence permeable characteristics riprap on stability has been neglected many studies. Through method combining generalized flume test theoretical analysis, submerged degree dike, porosity body, size void nearby turbulent kinetic...
