Thermal stratification frequently occurs in deep reservoirs, and discharged water
temperature (DWT) is detrimental to the downstream regions. Source tracking of discharged …

A vortex settling basin (VSB), consisting of a cylindrical chamber, an inflow system, a bottom
orifice outflow and an overflow weir, has been used to separate sediment from sediment …

This paper presents a retrofit for vortex settling basins (VSBs) by perforating the deflector to
reduce sediment deposition and thereby lowering VSB failure risks. Experiments were …

In this study, the performance of a vortex settling basin (VSB) with a clockwise circulation
was experimentally evaluated. The inlet flow rate was in the range of 8–22 L/s. Based on the …

To avoid the failure of a vortex settling basin (VSB) caused by excessive sediment
deposition on its deflector, support columns have been added under the deflector in …

Vortex-settling basins (VSBs) have been constructed with support columns under the
deflector to enhance the structural stability of the deflector. This paper presents a retrofit for …

For vortex settling basins (VSBs) installed with a deflector, perforation is an effective retrofit
to reduce the self‐weight of the deflector and sediment deposition on it. The current study …

Perforating the deflector of a vortex settling basin (VSB) has been proposed as a retrofit to
prevent the VSB failure that is caused by excessive sediment deposition on the deflector. In …
