The spillways of hydraulic structures transfer excessive water from dam reservoir to the downstream in a safe and controlled manner. A labyrinth or triangular weir is a flat spillway folded in plain view. The labyrinth ...

Long throated flumes are widely used flow measurement devices that not requiring site-specific level to flow curves and therefore laboratory experiments. In this study, downstream expansion effect of the long throated ...

Air-entraining vortices are one of the serious hydraulic phenomena which can create various problems during the operation of intakes. Generally, air-entraining vortices start to form when the intake submergence is insufficient ...

In this study, the hydraulic characteristics of circular bottom intake orifices were investigated in a hydraulic model. The structure diverts the river-flow to a hydroelectric power plant through circular orifices located ...

In this study, a small-scaled Tyrolean weir model was constructed in the laboratory environment and a series of experiments were conducted on it, for two different rack inclinations (θ1 = 18° and θ2 = 25°) and three different ...
