Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

In spite of the insistence of a variety of studies on floods triggered by a dam failure, the
effects of channel unevenness and vegetation have not been fully explored. Some …

This study was designed to evaluate the ability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods
including ANN, ANFIS, GRNN, SVM, GP, LR, and MLR to predict the relative energy …

The flow characteristics over vertical drops equipped with a grid roof, namely the “grid drop-
type dissipator”, were investigated using model experimentation. To study the flow patterns …

Experimental results on scour below a high vertical drop (drop height/critical depth> 1) in
uniform sands and gravels are presented. The experimental results are used to describe the …

In the present study, the effect of vertical drop, gradually expanding and vertical screens are
investigated to increase the energy dissipation efficiency of the flow. The experiments were …

In this study, horizontal screens were used in the edge of vertical drops, as an excessive
energy dissipater of flow, to increase dissipation of energy in vertical drops with the …

Piano key weirs (PKWs) are designed to efficiently regulate the discharge of water,
particularly during high-flow events such as, floods. They are especially useful in managing …

The flow over a drop structure placed in a rectangular channel was investigated through an
experimental program. It was noted that the downstream depth of flow was crucial to the …

This paper presents the theoretical equations for the impact characteristics of free over-fall
(ICFOF) in the pool zone with sloping upstream bed. The various impact characteristics …
