The objective of this study is to determine the effect of different roughness types and arrangements on hydraulic jump characteristics in a rectangular channel. Three different types of roughness were used along experiments. All of them had rectangular prism shapes and that were placed normal to the flow direction. To avoid cavitation, height of roughness elements were arranged according to level of the channel inlet, so that the crests of roughness elements would not be protruding into the flow. The effects of roughness type and arrangement on hydraulic jump properties, i.e. energy dissipation, length of the jump and tail water depth were investigated. These properties were compared with the available data in literature and with the properties of hydraulic jump occurred on smooth bed.

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...
Effect of prismatic roughness on hydraulic jump in trapezoidal channels Evcimen, Taylan Ulaş; Tokyay, Nuran; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) A study of the hydraulic jump on a trapezoidal prismatic channel and roughened beds is presented. Extensive measurements have been made regarding the characteristics of hydraulic jumps as sequent depths, wing fluctuations, energy dissipation and jump length on artificially roughened beds for Froude numbers between 4.16 and 14.58. Three different types of prismatic roughness elements and nine different roughness patterns were installed separately on channel bottom and side walls throughout the experiments to...
Effect of hydraulic parameters on the formation of vortices at intake structures Baykara, Ali; Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the hydraulic conditions at which air-entraining vortices would form in front of horizontal intakes and to determine the ways of eliminating the formation of these vortices by testing anti-vortex devices. For these reasons, a series of experiments were conducted in an experimental setup composed of a reservoir having the dimensions of 3.10 m x 3.10 m x 2.20 m and a pump connected to the intake pipe. Within the reservoir, between the concrete side walls a...
Formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal water intakes / Zaloğlu, Cihan; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) The goal of this study is to estimate the critical submergence depths of horizontal water intakes that have symmetrical and asymmetrical approach flow conditions by using empirical equations. Therefore a series of experiments were performed in a reservoir-pipe system dominated by gravity and controlled by a valve. On account of adjustable lateral walls, symmetrical and asymmetrical flow conditions were created at various Froude numbers. For a wide range of discharges and for three different pipe diameters, ...
Determination of hydraulic parameters of semi-infinite aquifers using Marquardt algorithm Taşkan, Cüneyt; Önder, Halil; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In this study, transmissivity and storage coefficient of a semi-infinite, confined, homogeneous and isotropic aquifer, where the flow is one-dimensional and linear, are determined using Marquardt algorithm, considering two independent cases: constant drawdown in the adjacent stream; or constant discharge from the aquifer due to pumping at a constant rate. In the first case piezometric head and discharge measurements are utilized. Hydraulic diffusivity, which is the ratio of transmissivity to storage coeffic...
