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...

in this century due to population growth, the use of river water has become more complicated. since most rivers pass across loose and erodible areas, they always act as the most important factor of transferring eroded materials from the solid crust of the earth.  vortex basins are among the solutions known for the high-speed separation of solids from liquids (filtration). one of the problems of...

the shape of a submerged vane is a major factor in the design of a vane system and affects the performance and secondary currents generated by the vanes. this study investigated the effect of five vane shapes on bed sediment processes (local scour at the leading edge and transverse distribution of sediment downstream of the vanes) at four flow intensities for a total of 20 experiments. the resu...

Scour is one of the main causes hydraulic structural failures. The present experimental study examines use riprap, submerged vanes, and a combination these for scour reduction around vertical walls spill-through abutments under clear-water conditions. Specifically, influence placing riprap stones with different apron shapes (geometry) and/or group vanes constant height length on abutment was ex...

Abstract Lateral intake structures suffer from sediment deposition and instability of flow path which may have a negative influence on the efficiency power plants that use river intakes as primary source for their cooling system. This study aims to experiment usage submerged vanes mitigation method determine effectiveness in decreasing deposition. A numerical model was constructed using DELFT3D...

This laboratory study focused on the effect of a submerged vane-field flow pattern and bed morphology near inside entrance reach movable 90° lateral diversion. The system was modelled under live conditions for water discharge ratio ?0.2. Two experiments were run until equilibrium reached: with without installed close to diversion control transfer sediments into channel. associated 3D field meas...
