Greater or more constant discharge can be achieved at lower upstream water depths over the weir crest by increasing the effective lengths of labyrinth side weirs. Labyrinth weirs have unevenly shaped crests, resulting in greater crest lengths at the weir opening. Labyrinth side weirs have significant advantages over conventional weirs. For example, the discharge capacities of labyrinth side weirs are 1.5-4.5 times that of conventional side weirs. In this study, the effects of using an antivortex structure in trapezoidal labyrinth side weirs on discharge capacity and scouring were investigated for varying values of Froude number (F-1), dimensionless crest height (p/y(1)), dimensionless weir opening length (L / B), dimensionless effective crest length (L/L-ef), and side wall angle (alpha). First, using data from 537 experimental runs, the antivortex structures that most increased the discharge capacity were determined. Next, the optimum location and dimension of the antivortex structure were investigated. Based on 242 test runs, it was found that as the dimensions of the antivortex structure increased and as the antivortex structure moved toward the center of the weir opening, the discharge coefficient (C-d) increased by approximately 48%. Lastly, clear-water scour experiments were conducted using three antivortex structures with different trapezoidal labyrinth side weir flow intensities. The findings demonstrate that antivortex structures decrease scour depth around the water intake region. (C) 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Effects of harbour shape on the induced sedimentation Kian, Rozita; Velioglu, Deniz; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Pelinovsky, Efim; Kurkin, Andrey; Zaytsev, Andrey; Yalciner, Bora; Pamuk, Aykut (2017-01-01) Tsunamis in shallow water zones lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), morphological changes (erosion, deposition), dynamic water pressure, as well as resonant oscillations. As a result, ground materials under the tsunami motion move and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region. Ports and harbours as enclosed basins are the main examples of coastal structures that usually encounter natural hazards with small or huge damaging scales...
Effect of the downstream transition region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on flow properties Göğüş, Mustafa; Atalay, Ahmet E. (2013-10-01) In this study, the effect of the downstream expansion region of a flow measurement flume of rectangular compound cross section on some of the flow properties; such as the discharge coefficient, C-d, the approach velocity coefficient, C and the modular limit, ML were investigated. For this reason, extensive laboratory tests were conducted with nine models of different downstream transitions. The aforementioned hydraulic quantities were then related with the relevant parameters to obtain sets of curves from w...

Effect of roughness on flow measurements in sloping rectangular channels with free overfall Fırat, Can Ersen; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) The characteristics of the subcritical, critical and supercritical flows at the rectangular free overfall were studied experimentally to obtain a relation between the brink depth and the flow rate. A series of experiments were conducted in a tilting flume with wide range of flow rate and two bed roughness in order to find the relationship between the brink depth, normal depth, channel bed slope and bed roughnesses. An equation was proposed to calculate the flow rate if only the brink depth, roughness, and c...
Experimental and numerical investigation of piano key weirs. Köken, Mete; Aydın, İsmail; Haspolat, Emre (2017-08-18) Piano Key Weirs (PKW) are useful overflow structures to increase discharge capacity per unit length of spillway crest for relatively small heads over the weir compared to a standard straight weir crest. PKW can be used as a side or frontal weir in many circumstances to regulate reservoir levels with small changes in water surface elevation. Nearly constant reservoir level has many advantages in optimum operation of water reservoirs for instance in maximizing hydropower production. There are several empirica...
