The main goal of the present study is to investigate the energy dissipation through inclined screens. Recent studies have shown that screens arranged vertically may dissipate more energy than a hydraulic jump does below small hydraulic structures. In the present study a series of laboratory experiments were performed in order to determine the effect of inclination of the screen on the energy dissipated by the screen. The porosity of the screen used in the experiments is 40%. Inclination angle, thickness of the screen, location of the screen, upstream flow depth, and the Froude number of the upstream flow are the major parameters for the laboratory experiments. Froude number of the upstream flow covered a range of 5 to 24. A screen was located up to a distance 100 times the undisturbed upstream flow depth from the gate and the thickness of the screen was changed in correlation with the depth of upstream flow. The results of the experiments show that the inclination parameter has an insignificant effect on the energy dissipated by the screen. Namely, inclination of the screen does not contribute much in reducing the energy of the flowing water further, compared to vertically placed screens.

Experimental investigation of energy dissipation through triangular screens
Güngör, Endam; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
For the present study, a series of experimental works are executed to dissipate energy through triangular screens. Recent studies have shown that the implementation of the screen for energy dissipation is an effective way to extract out the excessive energy of water downstream of small hydraulic structures located in rivers of relatively negligible sediment content. In the present study, double screen arrangement with a porosity of 40% is used. The inclination angle of the screens is opted as 60 degree. The...
Energy dissipation by triangular screens
Bozkuş, Zafer; Ger, Ahmet Metin (null; 2006-10-13)
The main drive for the present study is to investigate experimentally the energy dissipation through triangular screens. Recent experimental studies have shown that screens placed in vertical and inclined configurations below small hydraulic structures may dissipate more energy than a hydraulic jump formed in conventional stilling basins. In the present study a series of laboratory experiments were performed in order to determine the effect of triangular screens on the energy dissipation. The location of th...
Experimental study of single and multiple outlets behavior under constant head
Çobanoğlu, İsmail; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
The performance of outlets under constant head is investigated in this study. Behavior of single outlet is analyzed; subsequently effect of multiple outlets on a single outlet is examined. Parameters taken into account are constant head of water, orifice shape, orifice length, number of open outlets and discharge. The outlet type, which is examined, can be classified as a short tube orifice. Two different orifice diameters and tube lengths are used. Outlets had the diameter, 6.00 and 10.35mm. The ratio of o...
Forced hydraulic jump on artificially roughened beds
Şimşek, Çağdaş; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
In the scope of the study, prismatic roughness elements with different longitudinal spacing and arrangements have been tested in a rectangular flume in order to reveal their effects on fundamental characteristics of a hydraulic jump. Two basic roughness types with altering arrangements have been tested. Roughness elements of the first type extends through the channel width against the flow with varying length and pitch ratios for different arrangements. The second type is of staggered essence and produced b...
Comparative study on sediment transport equations for delta formations in reservoirs
Pulcuoğlu, Başar; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
In this study, a qualitative and comparative investigation on sediment transport equations used in prediction of rserevoir sedimentation is presented. 32 sediment transport equations, which are selected by literature review on sand and gravel size ranges, grouped according to the median particle sizes on which their derivation based. In order to compare these equations computer program DELTA, which is a one dimensional simulation program developed by Graf and Altınakar (1998) for the prediction of delta for...
