Effect of an abrupt slope change on air entrainment and flow depths at stepped spillways

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Mohammad Javad Ostad Mirza

Several stepped spillways have been built in recent decades, mostly integrated in the downstream faces of roller compacted concrete dams. Among them, only a few have changing bottom slopes. Comprehensive information on the effect of a slope change on the f ...

Experimental evidence of inter-blade cavitation vortex development in Francis turbines at deep part load condition

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto

Francis turbines are subject to various types of cavitation flow depending on the operating condition. To enable a smooth integration of the renewable energy sources, hydraulic machines are now increasingly required to extend their operating range, especia ...

BiTeCl and BiTeBr: A comparative high-pressure optical study

Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Ana Akrap, Gabriel Albert Autes

We here report a detailed high-pressure infrared transmission study of BiTeCl and BiTeBr. We follow the evolution of two band transitions: the optical excitation beta between two Rashba-split conduction bands, and the absorption. across the band gap. In th ...

Experimental study on the influence of abrupt slope changes on flow characteristics over stepped spillways

Mohammad Javad Ostad Mirza

Application of stepped spillways increases the energy dissipation rate along the spillway and may reduce the dimensions of the terminal energy dissipation structure. This pronounced energy dissipation makes stepped chutes attractive under various condition ...

Air Entrainment in Skimming Flow on Stepped Spillways: the Effect of an Abrupt Slope Change

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Mohammad Javad Ostad Mirza

Numerous stepped spillways were built during the last decades. In particular, a stepped spillway may be integrated economically into the downstream face of a RCC gravity dam, or on valley flanks besides embankment or rockfill dams, where slope changes may ...
