Effect of stilling basin shape on the hydraulic characteristics of the flow downstream radial gates
Barrage regulators are considered as one of the most important projects in the Egyptian irrigation practice, which is obvious by its controlling of the released discharge and both of upstream and downstream water levels. In the present time, the ministry of water resources and irrigation starts to c...

Barrage regulators are considered as one of the most important projects in the Egyptian irrigation practice, which is obvious by its controlling of the released discharge and both of upstream and downstream water levels. In the present time, the ministry of water resources and irrigation starts to construct new barrages on the River Nile instead of the oldest ones, which are not able to withstand the requirements of increasing head difference between the upstream and downstream water levels upon the gates. The present study was focused on investigating the effect of different shapes of stilling basins of regulator on the length of the submerged hydraulic jump, velocity profiles along the apron, and local scour downstream regulator floor. Extensive experimental program was conducted on a re-circulating flume with 1.0 m wide, 26.0 m long and 1.2 m deep, with discharges range from 40 to 190 l/s. The relative velocity near bed, and shear Reynolds number were studied to fix the best shape of stilling basin that could reduce both of length of submerged hydraulic jump and local scour downstream stilling basin. Statistical equation was developed to correlate the length of submerged jump with the other independent parameters. Finally, clear matching of results from the length of jump and velocity analysis was investigated. |
