In this study, the hydraulics of circular bottom intake orifices was investigated experimentally in a hydraulic model constructed in the laboratory. For this reason, a series of circular orifices at various diameters were located at the bottom of a flume and tested under a wide range of different flow conditions. The discharge passing through the orifice of known diameter, location and slope were measured and recorded along with the corresponding flow rate of the main channel and its flow depth. One or some of the variables as diameters, locations and slopes of the orifices were changed in the experiments. From the data obtained, the discharge coefficients, CD, of the orifices and their variations with the dimensions and locations of the orifices were determined. Similar experiments were repeated with orifices located on the inclined channel bottom and the effects of the bottom inclination on the variation of discharge coefficient, CD and coefficient obtained from the dimensional analysis, K, were investigated. The relationship between these coefficients, CD, and K, and some other dimensionless parameters were presented graphically. Using these graphs, one can determine the discharge coefficient, CD, and other coefficient, K, necessary to find the amount of water diverted by a circular bottom intake orifice with known diameter, place and slope from a main channel of which the total discharge is known. The effects of multiple bottom intake orifices on the aforementioned coefficients were also investigated within the scope of this study.

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...
The effect of prismatic ruoghness elements on hydraulic jump
Evcimen, Taylan Ulaş; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
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 effect...
Investigation of critical submergence at single and multiple- horizontal intake structures having air- entraining vortices
Gökmener, Serkan; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
In this experimental study the variation of the critical submergence of air- entraining vortices with important flow and geometrical parameters were investigated at single and multiple- horizontal intake structures. In the scope of this study, three identical pipes of diameter Di=0.265 m were tested at a wide range of discharge with varying side wall clearances under symmetrical and asymmetrical approach flow conditions. Using dimensional analysis dimensionless equation was developed for critical submergenc...
Discharge predictions using ann in sloping rectangular channels with free overfall
Öztürk, Hayrullah Uğraş; Öztürk, Hayrullah Uğraş; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to estimate in many areas of hydrology and hydraulic engineering. In this thesis, multilayered feedforward backpropagation algorithm was used to establish for the prediction of unit discharge q (m3/s/m) in a rectangular free overfall. Researchers̕ experimental data were used to train and validate the network with high reliability. First, an appropriate ANN model has been established by considering determination of hidden layer and node num...
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, ...
