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...
Direct Numerical Simulation of Liquid Flow in a Horizontal Microchannel Tarı, İlker (2005-07-21) Numerical Simulations of liquid flow in a micro-channel between two horizontal plates are performed. The channel is infinite in streamwise and spanwise directions and its height is taken as 3.1 x 10(-4) m which falls within the dimension ranges of micro-channels. The Navier-Stokes equations with the addition of Brinkman number (Br) to the energy equation are used as the governing equations and a spectral methods based approach is applied to obtain the required accuracy to handle liquid flow in the micro-cha...
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 ...
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 ...
Discharge formula for rectangular sharp-crested weirs Aydın, İsmail; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (2011-04-01) Sharp-crested rectangular weirs used for discharge measurement in channels and laboratories are experimentally investigated. Height and width of weir plate are the two parameters characterizing the head-discharge relationship. Laboratory experiments are conducted by measuring the discharge and the head over the weir for variable weir heights and widths. Applicability of various formulations for the discharge coefficient are investigated. Experiments indicate that discharge is independent of weir height, whe...
