This paper reports an experimental investigation on the velocity and turbulence characteristics in an evolving scour hole downstream of an apron due to submerged jets issuing from a sluice opening detected by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. Experiments were carried out for the conditions of submerged jets, having submergence factors from 0.96 to 1.85 and jet Froude numbers from 2.58 to 4.87, over sediment beds downstream of a rigid apron. The distributions of time-averaged velocity vectors, turbulence intensities, and Reynolds stress at different streamwise distances are plotted for the conditions of initial flat bed, intermediate scour holes, and equilibrium scour hole downstream of an apron. Vector plots of the flow field show that the rate of decay of the submerged jet velocity increases with an increase in scour hole dimension. The bed-shear stresses are determined from the Reynolds stress distributions. The flow characteristics in evolving scour holes are analyzed in the context of self-preservation, growth of the length scale, and decay of the velocity and turbulence characteristics scales. The most significant observation is that the flow in the scour holes (intermediate and equilibrium) is found to be plausibly self-preserving. 相似文献

The results of an experimental investigation on scour of noncohesive sediment beds (uniform and nonuniform sediments) downstream of an apron due to a submerged horizontal jet issuing from a sluice opening are presented. Attempts are made to explain the similarity existing in the scour process and profiles (including dune in the downstream of the scour hole). The scour profiles at different times follow a particular geometrical similarity and can be expressed by the combination of two polynomials. Using experimental scour depth at different times, the time variation of scour depth is scaled by an exponential law, where time scale increases linearly with densimetric Froude number. The equilibrium scour depth, related to the sediment size relative to the sluice opening, decreases with increase in sediment size and sluice opening. On the other hand, the equilibrium scour depth increases with increase in densimetric Froude number. The variation of equilibrium scour depth with tailwater depth indicates a critical tailwater depth corresponding to a minimum equilibrium scour depth. The effect of sediment gradation on scour depth is pronounced for nonuniform sediments, which reduce scour depth significantly due to formation of an armor layer, and therefore prompted study of the reduction of scour depth by a launching apron placed downstream of the rigid apron. The results show that the average reduction of scour depth by placing a launching apron was 39%, having a maximum of 57.3% and a minimum of 16.2%. The characteristic parameters affecting maximum equilibrium scour depth are identified based on the physical reasoning and dimensional analysis. Equation of maximum equilibrium scour depth obtained empirically agrees well with the experimental data. 相似文献

The results of an experimental investigation of the time variation of scour hole and the flow characteristics of the quasi-equilibrium state of scour of a cohesive bed downstream of an apron due to a submerged horizontal jet issuing from a sluice opening are presented. Experiments were carried out with natural cohesive sediment for various sluice openings, jet velocities, and lengths of apron. Attempts are made to explain the similarity existing either in the process of scour or in the scour profiles that the scour holes follow downstream of an apron. The scour profiles at different times follow a particular geometrical similarity and can be expressed by a polynomial using relevant parameters. The characteristic parameters affecting the time variation of scour depth are identified based on the physical reasoning and dimensional analysis. An equation for time variation of maximum scour depth is obtained empirically. The diffusion characteristics of the submerged jet, growth of boundary layer thickness, velocity distribution within the boundary layer, and shear stress at the quasi-equilibrium state of scour are also investigated. The expression of shear stress is obtained from the solution of the von Kármán momentum integral equation. 相似文献

The results of an experimental investigation on the flow field in submerged jumps on horizontal rough beds, detected by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter, are presented. Experiments were conducted for the conditions of submerged jumps, having submergence factors from 0.96 to 1.85 and jet Froude numbers from 2.58 to 4.87, over rough beds of Nikuradse’s equivalent sand roughness equaling 0.49, 0.8, 1.86, and 3?mm. The vertical distributions of time-averaged velocity components, turbulence intensity components, and Reynolds stress at different streamwise distances from the sluice opening and the horizontal distribution of bed-shear stress are plotted. Vector plots of the flow field show that the rate of decay of jet velocity in a submerged jump increases with increase in bed roughness. The flow characteristics on rough beds, being different from those on smooth bed, are discussed from the point of view of similarity, growth of the length scale, and decay of the velocity and turbulence characteristics scales. The most important observation is that the flow in the fully developed zone is found to be self-preserving. 相似文献

This technical note presents the results of an experimental study of the erosion of loose cohesionless sand beds by impinging circular water jets with a minimum depth of tailwater. Measurements were made of both the maximum dynamic and static scour depths and the radius of the scour hole. It was found that the dynamic scour depth is about three times that of static scour at the asymptotic state. Dimensional arguments and experimental results are used to show that the main dimensions of the scour hole at the asymptotic state are a function of the densimetric Froude number F0′ = U0′/, where U0′ = velocity of the jet at the original level of the sand bed; g = acceleration due to gravity; D = mean diameter of the sand particles; ρ = density of the eroding fluid; and Δρ = difference between particle and fluid densities. Useful correlations have been developed to estimate the size of the scour holes. Also included is a comparison between the erosion caused by submerged and unsubmerged impinging circular jets. 相似文献

A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the influence of aeration on plane jet scour. The scour holes caused by the aerated and the nonaerated jets were compared under the same conditions of jet velocity, water discharge per unit width, and tailwater depth. A quantitative relationship between the air concentration of jet and the relative scour depth was established, which is not affected by jet velocity and water discharge per unit width. The profile of the scour hole was found to mainly depend on the scour depth under the same conditions of bed material and tailwater depth and affected very little by the air concentration itself in the test range. The aeration influences the shape of the scour hole mainly through decreasing the scour depth. The scour holes formed under aerated and nonaerated conditions are self-similar. 相似文献

This note focuses on the temporal and spatial evolution of local scour below low-head spillways. Steady-flow experiments were carried out in a 1-m wide and 20-m long rectangular straight channel. The jet was generated by an ogee-crest spillway followed by a positive-step stilling basin. Nearly uniform sandy beds were generally tested, but additional tests were also performed with a special bed of lead spheres. To circumvent the combination of local and general scour phenomena, tailwater depths were set such that tailwater flow intensities were below the threshold of sediment motion. As a consequence, for each run a submerged hydraulic jump formed. Tests were of long durations (of order of days) mainly to achieve conditions of quasi-equilibrium. Based on the data collected, literature approaches are discussed. Then, empirical models are proposed to estimate: (1) the maximum scour depth at the quasi-equilibrium stage and its horizontal distance from edge of stilling basin; (2) the time variation of scour depth; and (3) the axial scour profiles. The proposed equations agree well with experimental data. Findings also highlight that affinity rather than similarity may be the typical property of low-angle eroding jets. 相似文献

Plunge pool scour is an important topic in hydraulic structures design. Numerous studies have been done in past years to understand the scour phenomenon due to plunging jets. These studies finally aimed at reducing the risk of structural undermining and collapse. Scour holes created under various hydraulic and geometrical conditions were analyzed for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases, and methods to reduce the scour were also investigated. In the current study, an attempt was made to quantify the feasibility of using crossing jets. The scour process was analyzed, and various relationships were presented to predict the main geometrical parameters, i.e., maximum scour hole depth, scour hole length, and scour hole width. Scour profiles were also compared with those due to an equivalent single jet. The main parameters on which the scour geometry depends were found as the densimetric Froude number of the jet, the crossing angle between the jets, the distance between the crossing point and the water surface level, and the water depth. All experiments have been carried out for a fixed vertical angle of 45°. 相似文献

The stable pools formed by spur dikes can be a significant factor for improving aquatic habitat in unstable degraded streams. Prediction of the volume and geometry of the scour hole associated with a spur dike yields information that is valuable for assessing the potential benefit to the aquatic habitat. Volumes of the scour hole in the vicinity of model spur dikes were measured in a laboratory flume under clear-water overtopping flows. Spur dike length, flow depth, and shear velocity ratio were varied in the experiments and found to significantly influence the volume of the scour hole. For overtopping flows, the ratio of the flow depth to the spur dike height was found to be an important control on the geometry of the resulting scour hole. At higher flow depth to spur dike height ratios, the location of the maximum depth of scour changed from the upstream point of the dike toward the channel bank and caused a secondary scour zone to form downstream of the spur dike. A preliminary technique is proposed to predict the volume of scour for spur dikes perpendicular to the bank. 相似文献

The jet characteristics and the fluid flow pattern in a continuous slab caster have been studied using a water model. The fluid jet is studied under free fall and submerged discharge conditions. In the latter case, the jet was followed by dye-injection technique and image analyser was used to find out the effect of nozzle parameters on jet-spread angle, jet-discharge angle and the volume entrainment by the jet. All free-fall jets with nozzle port angle zero and upward are found to be spinning. Some of the free-fall jets with downward nozzle-port angle are found to be spinning and rest are smooth. The spinning direction of the jets are found to change with time. The well depth, port diameter and the inner diameter of the nozzle have a clear effect on the free-fall jets with downward port angle. The jet-spread angle is found to be about 17° for smooth jets. The spread angle for spinning jet increases as the nozzle-port angle is increased from downward 25 to upward 15°. The jet-discharge angle is always downward even when the nozzle-discharge ports are angled upward. The extent of volume entrainment by the spinning jet is higher and it increases as the nozzle-port angle is increased from 25 downward to 15° upward. 相似文献

Submerged vanes are submerged foils of low height and larger length, constructed in a river at an angle of attack α to the flow to modify the near-bed flow pattern and redistribute flow and sediment transport within the channel cross section. At a Froude number (F) of 0.13, the local scour development around the submerged vane without a collar was not enough to dislodge the vane whereas at F = 0.25, there was a significant local scour hole around the vane and the vane was dislodged. With the introduction of a collar at the leading edge of a submerged vane, the scour depth at the leading edge of the vane was reduced to zero. A collar of circular shape was found more suitable for a rectangular vane. Recommendations for sizing collars at two values of F are given. The optimal α for a rectangular vane with a collar was found close to 40°. The study clearly indicates the advantages of using collars in case of submerged vanes and provides insight into selection of appropriate collar shapes. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to measure the three-dimensional turbulent flow field, using the acoustic Doppler velocimeter, at a short vertical-wall abutment (ratio of abutment length to approach flow depth less than unity) before and after the development of a scour hole under a clear water scour condition. In the upstream, the presentation of flow field through vectors at vertical sections shows a primary vortex associated with the downflow. In the downstream, the upward flow is comprised of with irregularities owing to the vortex shedding. The flow separation near the bed and within the scour hole is evident from the turbulent kinetic energy distribution. Using Reynolds stresses, the bed shear stresses are calculated. 相似文献

A water model study was carried out to understand the behavior of a molten steel and Ar gas two-phase jet issuing out of a
submerged entrance nozzle in continuous casting modls. A mixture of water and air was injected horizontally from a circular
pipe settled flush with the narrow face of a mold having a rectangular cross section. The water-air two-phase jet thus generated
was pulled upward through the effect of buoyancy force acting on air bubbles. The deflection of the jet in the upward direction
was correlated by introducing a velocity scale, which could characterize the upward moving velocity of the jet. The mean velocity
and turbulence components of water flow were measured with a laser Doppler velocimeter. Empirical equations were proposed
for predicting the two velocity components. 相似文献

River bank protection is a costly but essential component in river management. Outer banks in river bends are most vulnerable to scour and erosion. Previous laboratory experiments illustrated that a well-designed horizontal foundation of a vertical outer bank protruding into the cross section, called a footing, can reduce the scour depth and thereby protect the bank. This paper provides detailed experimental data in a reference experiment without footing and an experiment with footing carried out under similar hydraulic conditions, which suggest a delicate interaction between bed topography, downstream and cross-stream velocity, and to lesser extent turbulence. The presence of the outer bank footing modifies this delicate interaction and results in a more favorable configuration with respect to bank stability including: reduced maximum scour depth, more uniformly distributed downstream velocity, and weaker cross-stream circulation cells. 相似文献

An experimental study of scour countermeasures for spill-through abutments situated on the flood plain of a compound channel is reported. The purpose of the study was to determine the variations in the scour hole geometry under clear water conditions by varying the compound channel and abutment geometries, and to determine the extent and type of scour countermeasure toe protection provided. This approach avoids one of the inherent difficulties in conducting scour countermeasure experiments—that is, the subjectivity of determining whether the countermeasure used in the experiment is a success or a failure. Riprap and cable-tied block countermeasures are incorporated. The results show that for most cases, as the countermeasure apron width (i.e., the extent of toe protection) is increased, the scour hole is deflected further away from the abutment and reduces in size. However, for abutment and compound channel configurations where the scour hole forms close to the main channel bank, the scour hole increases in size as the apron width is increased. The results also show that cable-tied block mats allow the scour hole to form closer to the abutment than equivalent riprap aprons and result in deeper scour holes. A suggested design methodology for the extent of apron protection is presented. The method is an improvement on the current, rather-simplified practice of providing aprons of fixed width equal to twice the flow depth. 相似文献

This paper documents measurements of the mean velocity field and turbulence statistics of an isothermal, round jet entering a shallow layer of water. The lower boundary of the jet was a solid wall and the upper boundary a free surface. The jet axis was midway between the solid wall and the free surface in all cases. Experiments were performed at a Reynolds number of 22,500 for water layer depths 15, 10, and 5?times the jet exit diameter (9?mm). Particle image velocimetry measurements were made on vertical and horizontal planes—both containing the axis of the jet. The measurements were taken from 10 to 80 jet diameters downstream. Results showed that, for the highly confined cases at downstream locations, the axial velocity was quite uniform over the depth, with a mild peak below the jet axis. In the horizontal plane, the velocity profiles were slightly narrower than the free jet profile, but in the vertical plane, they were wider. The mean vertical velocity profiles showed that entrainment was suppressed in the vertical direction. At the same time, the lateral velocity profiles indicate that fluid flows from the sides toward the jet centerline. For the shallow cases, the mean vertical velocity becomes negative over most of the depth at downstream locations, indicating that this inflow from the sides is directed downward toward the solid wall. The relative turbulence intensity results were suppressed in the axial and vertical directions and mildly enhanced in the lateral direction. As well, the Reynolds shear stress in the vertical plane was significantly reduced by the vertical confinement, while in the horizontal plane it was only slightly affected by the confinement. 相似文献

Detailed experiments on vertical turbulent plane jets in water of finite depth were carried out in a two-dimensional water tank. The jet velocities were measured with a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). The LDV measurement covers the entire flow regime: the zone of flow establishment (ZFE), the zone of established flow (ZEF), the zone of surface impingement (ZSI), and the zone of horizontal jets (ZHJ). From the experimental results, the following conclusions are reached. First, the jet flow is independent of the Reynolds number if the Reynolds number is sufficiently large to produce a turbulent jet. Second, in the initial ZFE, the jet flow is nonsimilar and is characterized by the two free shear layers along the two edges of the jet orifice. Third, the jet flow in ZEF is self-similar. Both mean and fluctuation velocities are scaled with the mean jet centerline velocity. The turbulent shear stress is predictable by Prandtl's third eddy viscosity model. The spreading of the confined vertical jets is larger than that of a free jet, so is the faster decay of jet centerline velocity. Fourth, in ZSI the jet flow is nonsimilar and high turbulent intensities were found. The vertical turbulent jet transforms into two opposite horizontal surface jets after the impingement. And finally, the maximum velocity of the horizontal surface jet in ZHJ decays according to a power law. 相似文献

This paper introduces a method for estimating the scour in cohesive soils produced by a submerged vertical circular turbulent impinging jet. Determining scour in cohesive soils is a complex problem, partly because the clay particles within the soil are held together by electrochemical forces that are not easily quantifiable. As well, erosion occurs in many forms, such as the removal of individual particles or as large chunks of soil. Results of a laboratory study of scour by a circular impinging jet of a cohesive soil, consisting of 40% clay, 53% silt, and 7% fine sand, are presented. Analysis based on the mechanics of the impinging jets shows that the dimensions of the scour hole at an equilibrium state of scour are a function of the momentum flux from the jet, the impingement height (for “large” impingement heights), the viscosity and density of the eroding fluid, and the critical shear stress of the soil. Mass erosion was the predominant type of erosion observed. 相似文献

Results of an experimental study on clear-water scour at submerged cylindrical obstacles (circular cylinders) in uniform bed sediments under steady flow are presented. The scour depths at submerged circular cylinders are compared with the scour depths at corresponding unsubmerged cylinders (extended above the free surface of flow) of the same diameters under similar flow and bed sediment conditions. The scour depth decreases with an increase in submergence ratio. A submergence factor is introduced to determine the scour depth at a submerged cylinder from the information of the scour depth at an unsubmerged cylinder of the same diameter. In addition, the flow fields along the upstream vertical plane of symmetry of unsubmerged and submerged cylinders are presented through vector plots, which reveal that the dimension and strength of the horseshoe vortex decreases with an increase in submergence ratio. The horseshoe vortex circulations, which decrease with an increase in submergence ratio, are computed from the vorticity contours by using the Stokes theorem. 相似文献

The main flow features of three-dimensional plunge pool scour are explored in this experimental research for steady flow conditions. These include the maximum depth of the scour hole, its streamwise geometry, and the maximum width, the maximum height of the ridge, its shape in plan view, and its profile. Expressions for all these parameters are presented in terms of the basic scour variables, including the approach flow densimetric Froude number, the jet impact angle, the jet diameter, and the tailwater elevation above the originally horizontal sediment bed. This research is based on a previous work relating to two-dimensional plunge pool scour. Differences between the two phenomena are outlined, and the results are discussed in terms of engineering applications. The results of the two works allow for the prediction of the most salient features of plunge pool scour for both the dynamic and the static scour holes. 相似文献
