Effect of Channel Bed Corrugations on Hydraulic Jump

2005-05-15
There have been many investigations on the effect of roughness elements on physical parameters of hydraulic jump. In practice, baffle blocks and sills are commonly being used to stabilize the location of a jump and shorten the length of a stilling basin. On the other hand, corrugations which cover the entire length of the basin may be an alternative. In the present study, hydraulic jumps on corrugated channel beds are studied experimentally. Values of 0.20 and 0.26 were used as the wave steepness of corrugations in the experiments. The range of Froude number was between 5 and 12. The tailwater depth-initial depth ratio was determined as a function of the Froude number. The length of the jump and the energy dissipation occurring in the jump were also determined. The results are compared with the data available in literature for corrugated beds and those of the hydraulic jumps forming on a smooth channel bed. It was determined that the tailwater depth required to form the jump and the length of the jump on corrugated bed were appreciably smaller than those of the corresponding jumps on a smooth bed. It was also found that the head loss for jumps on corrugated beds were higher than those occurring on smooth beds and corrugations were efficient in stabilizing the location of the jump. Therefore corrugations should be considered as an effective alternative of accessory devices such as baffle blocks and sills.

Effects of different bed roughnesses on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps
Velioğlu, Deniz; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
In practice, baffle blocks and sills are commonly being used to stabilize the location of a hydraulic jump and shorten the length of a stilling basin. On the other hand, gravels, corrugations and rectangular prismatic roughnesses which cover the entire length of the basin or placed in a staggered manner may be an alternative. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of these roughness elements on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps such as conjugate depth, jump length and energy dissipatio...
Effect of lead core heating on the seismic performance of bridges isolated with LRB in near-fault zones
Ozdemir, Gokhan; Dicleli, Murat (2012-11-01)
In this paper, the effect of lead core heating and associated strength deterioration on the seismic response of bridges isolated with lead rubber bearings (LRB) is investigated as a function of the characteristics of the isolator and near fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect. Furthermore, the ability of bounding analyses to provide a design envelope for maximum isolator force and maximum isolator displacement is verified. For this purpose, a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses are c...
Effect of modifying bearing fixities on the seismic response of short- to medium-length bridges with heavy substructures
Hindi, R; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-02-01)
The effect of modifying the fixity conditions of the bearings on the seismic response and vulnerability of existing bridges with heavy substructures is studied. For this purpose, nonlinear seismic analysis of a typical bridge with heavy substructures is conducted to assess its seismic response and vulnerabilities. Next, the bearings are modified to obtain four different configurations of bearing fixities over the substructures. Nonlinear seismic analyses of the bridge are conducted to assess its seismic res...
Effect of Passive Bleeding on Flow Structure over a Nonslender Delta Wing
Celik, Alper; Cetin, Cenk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2017-08-01)
The effect of passive bleeding on flow structure of a 45 deg swept delta wing is studied in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, surface-pressure measurements, and particle image velocimetry. Three different bleeding configurations are tested to identify the effectiveness of the control technique compared to a base planform for a broad range of attack angles 6 <= alpha <= 6deg at Reynolds numbers Re=3.5x10(4) and Re=10(5). The results indicate that all bleeding ...
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...
