The characteristics of high-speed air-entrained jet flow over a spillway aerator were investigated using experimental data. Three different ramp designs (as well as the case of no ramp) were tested in a channel where the bed slope was adjusted to 0, 0.17, and 0.57, respectively. The effects of aerator geometry and flow condition on the air-entrainment process within the water jet and on the pressure fluctuations in the impact region are the main focus of the investigation. An extensive data analysis was performed for data obtained from this study and from a similar laboratory study conducted by another investigator. Experimental relations were derived for nondimensional parameters of jet length, aerator cavity subpressure number, and aeration rates through the lower and upper nappes of the water jet. Scale effects for lower nappe aeration and aerator cavity subpressure number were considered and a good correlation was determined with prototype aerator measurements of Emborcacao, Foz do Areia, and Keban dams for lower nappe aeration and Guri Dam for aerator cavity subpressure numbers. An aerator without a ramp may be subjected to excessive pressure fluctuations at the impact region due to insufficient air entrainment.

Modulation of frontogenetic plankton production along a meandering jet by zonal wind forcing: An application to the Alboran Sea Oguz, Temel; Mourre, Baptiste; Tintore, Joaquin (2017-08-01) We present a coupled physical-biological modeling study to elucidate the changes in ageostrophic frontal dynamics and the frontogenetic plankton production characteristics of a meandering jet under the impacts of successive westerly/easterly wind events combined with seasonal variations in the upstream transport and buoyancy flux characteristics of the jet, using a case study for the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean). Their nonlinear coupling is shown to result in different forms of physical and biologica...
High pressure TGA analysis of crude oils Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Hughes, R; Price, D (1996-09-25) A high pressure thermogravimetric analyser (HPTGA) has been used to explore the effect of total pressure (100, 200 and 300 psig) on the combustion behaviour and kinetics of crude oils. In combustion with air, three different reaction regions were identified, known as low-temperature oxidation, fuel deposition and high temperature oxidation. The Coats and Redfern procedure was applied to determine the kinetic parameters of the crude oils studied.
Scaling and Self-Similarity of One-Dimensional Unsteady Suspended Sediment Transport with Emphasis on Unscaled Sediment Material Properties Carr, K. J.; Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M. L. (2015-05-01) Current methods utilized in scaling sediment transport in unsteady open-channel flow result in a number of model and scale effects, decreasing the accuracy and applicability of scale models. Identifying the conditions under which the governing equations of sediment transport are self-similar, and require no sediment diameter or density scaling, can reduce scale effects and increase model applicability. Conditions for self-similarity of one-dimensional unsteady suspended sediment transport are identified by ...
High Speed Couette—Poiseuille Flow Stability in Reverse Flow Conditions Ebrinç, Ali Aslan; Özgen, Serkan; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2006-08-21) The linear stability of reverse high speed-viscous plane Couette – Poiseuille flow is investigated numerically. The conservation equations along with Sutherland’s viscosity law are studied using a second order finite difference scheme. Basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small amplitude normal-mode disturbance. Small amplitude disturbance equations are solved numerically using a global method to find all the eigenvalues at finite Reynolds numbers. The results indicate that instab...
