Manning's roughness coefficient for flood plains with macro roughness elements is experimentally investigated in an 18 m long and 1 m wide laboratory channel. Velocity field was measured in the main and flood plain channels. Total discharge was obtained both from weir measurement and from integration of measured velocity field. Four different surface patterns including smooth and various arrangements of macro roughness elements were considered. Prismatic concrete volumes were placed as macro roughness elements on the flood plains. Wall shear stresses were determined from measured velocity profiles using logarithmic wall functions. Energy slope was determined from the total tractive force obtained by integration of wall shear stresses. Finally, Manning's roughness coefficient was determined from the Manning's formula applied to main channel and the flood plain channels. It is found that the roughness coefficient on the flood plain channels may increase more then two folds when about 2% of the flow volume in the flood plain is occupied by the macro roughness elements.

Evaluation of separate channel methods for discharge computation in asymmetric compound channels Al-Khatib, Issam A.; Dweik, Adel A.; Göğüş, Mustafa (2012-04-01) Some experimental results from the Fluid Mechanics Water Channel Facility at Birzeit University, Birzeit, Palestine, were used for computing discharge using separate channel methods in asymmetrical compound channels with varying floodplain widths and step heights. Three assumed interface planes (vertical, horizontal and diagonal) between the main channel and the floodplain subsections were considered. Then discharge values in the subsections and in the whole cross-section were evaluated. None of the separat...
Optimization of Vortex Promoter Parameters to Enhance Heat Transfer Rate in Electronic Equipment Ayli, Ece; Bayer, Özgür (ASME International, 2020-04-01) In this paper, optimization of the location and the geometry of a vortex promoter located above in a finned surface in a channel with eight heat sources is investigated for a Reynolds number of 12,500 < Re < 27,700. Heat transfer rates and the corresponding Nusselt number distributions are studied both experimentally and numerically using different vortex promoter geometries (square, circular, and triangular) in different locations to illustrate the effect of vortex promoter on the fluid flow. Optimization ...
ROUGHNESS EFFECT ON THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT FOR GASEOUS FLOW IN MICROCHANNELS Turgay, Metin B.; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakac, Sadik (2010-08-13) Effects of surface roughness, axial conduction, viscous dissipation, and rarefaction on heat transfer in a two dimensional parallel plate microchannel with constant wall temperature are investigated numerically. Roughness is simulated by adding equilateral triangular obstructions with various heights on one of the plates. Air, with constant thermophysical properties, is chosen as the working fluid, and laminar, single-phase, developing flow in the slip flow regime at steady state is analyzed. Governing equa...
Numerical Simulation of Reciprocating Flow Forced Convection in Two-Dimensional Channels Sert, Cüneyt (ASME International, 2003-5-20) <jats:p>Numerical simulations of laminar, forced convection heat transfer for reciprocating, two-dimensional channel flows are performed as a function of the penetration length, Womersley (α) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral element formulation, which enables high-order spatial resolution with exponential decay of discretization errors, and second-order time-accuracy. Uniform heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions are imposed on certain regions of the ...
Numerical Simulation of Rarefied Laminar Flow past a Circular Cylinder Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2014-07-18) Numerical simulations have been obtained for two-dimensional laminar flows past a circular cylinder in the transitional regime. Computations are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and 0.2 and Mach numbers of 0.102 and 0.4. For these conditions, Reynolds number ranges from 0.626 to 24.63 and the flows are steady. Results show that separation occurs in the wake region for the flow with Mach number of 0.4 and Knudsen number of 0.02, but for the other eases flow...
