Hydraulic Design

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on 18 designs of vertical slot fishways. Based on these results, it appears that a width of 8b0 and a length of 10b0 for the pools, where b0 is the slot width, are satisfactory, and minor variations can be made to these dimensions without affecting their satisfactory performance. In the two general groups of designs, design 6 in the first group and designs 16 and 18 in the second group are recommended for practical use. Key words: fishways, hydraulics, turbulent flow, open-channel flow, hydraulic design.

Theoretical Considerations

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hydraulics of steeppass fishways. Using theoretical considerations and experimental observations, an expression has been developed that relates the flow rate, slope of the fishway, and depth of flow. It was also found that the characteristic (similarity) velocity profile found earlier, for smaller values of depth to width ratio,y0/b, with the maximum velocity near the bottom, changes to a rather symmetrical profile with the maximum velocity occurring somewhere near the mid-depth for larger values of y0/b. A correlation has also been found for the maximum velocity. This paper also includes some observations on the M-type backwater curves that would appear in the fishway when the tailwater depths exceed uniform flow depths. Key words: fishways, hydraulics, turbulent flow, open-channel flow, hydraulic design.

Flow Equation

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hydraulics of culverts with offset baffles to pass fish. Using analytical considerations and experimental observations, a flow equation has been developed between the discharge, diameter, depth, and slope for a culvert fish way with the standard offset baffle system. The velocity field at the slot has also been evaluated. Some further experiments were performed to assess the effect of baffle spacing and height on the hydraulics of the culvert fishway. Key words: culverts, fishways, baffles, hydraulics, open-channel flow, turbulent flow.

General Correlation

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the dilution produced in jets discharged into crossflows. A general correlation has been developed to predict the centreline dilution. This relation has been found to agree reasonably well with field observations. It has also been possible to predict the growth of the width and the thickness of the deflected jet. This paper would be useful in the design of submerged outfalls in rivers. Key words: jets, crossflows, dilution, open channel flow, environmental hydraulics.
