Abstract: Air–water flow measurements were performed in hydraulic jump flows for a range of inflow Froude numbers. The experiments were conducted in a large-sized facility using phase-detection intrusive probes. The void fraction measurements showed the presence of an advective diffusion shear layer where the air concentration vertical distributions were successfully compared with an analytical solution of the advective diffusion equation for air bubbles. In the air–water shear layer, a new empirical relationship between the maximum air concentration decay as a function of both the distance from the jump toe and the inflow Froude number was derived. Air–water turbulent time and length scales were deduced from auto- and cross-correlation analyses based on the method of Chanson (2007). The result provided some characteristic transverse time and length scales of the eddy structures advecting the air bubbles in the developing shear layer. The turbulence time scale data showed an increase with the relative elevation above the bed, as well as some decrease with increasing distance from the toe. The dimensionless integral turbulent length scale L xz /d 1 was closely related to the inflow depth.

Abstract: In the last two decades, research on the hydraulics of skimming flows down stepped chutes was driven by needs for better design guidelines. Skimming flows are characterized by significant momentum transfer from the main stream to the recirculation zones. Investigations are difficult because of the complex nature of the flow, the strong flow aeration, and the interactions between entrained air and turbulence. This study provides a comprehensive database on main stream and cavity flow interactions in skimming flows down a stepped chute. Measurements were conducted on a large facility (α = 15.9°, h = 0.05 and 0.1 m, W = 1 m) with precise instrumentation based upon a Froude similitude. Air–water velocity and turbulence measurements demonstrated a well-defined mixing layer developing downstream of each step edge in which the velocity profiles had the same shape as classical monophase flow results. A comparative analysis of air–water flow properties for Froude similar flow conditions showed a good agreement between the two step heights in terms of dimensionless distributions of air content, velocity, and turbulence intensity, but dimensionless bubble count rates, turbulence levels, and bubble chord sizes were improperly scaled.Key words: stepped chute, skimming flow, flow recirculation, momentum exchange, physical modelling.

Abstract: Jean-Baptiste Bélanger (1790–1874) worked as a hydraulic engineer at the beginning of his career. He developed the backwater equation to calculate the free-surface profile of gradually varied, steady open channel flow. He also introduced the concept of critical flow and the numerical technique called the direct step method. Later, as an academic staff member at the leading French engineering schools (Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées and Ecole Polytechnique), he developed a new university curriculum in mechanics and wrote several textbooks including a seminal text in hydraulic engineering. His influence on his contemporaries was considerable, and his name is written on the border of one of the four façades of the Eiffel Tower. Bélanger's leading role demonstrated the dynamism of practising engineers at the time, and his contributions paved the way to many significant works in hydraulics and fluid dynamics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Abstract: The use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-tracked Lagrangian drifters allows more realistic quantification of fluid motion and dispersion coefficients than Eulerian techniques because such drifters are analogs of particles that are relevant to flow field characterization and pollutant dispersion. Using the fast-growing real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning technique derived from GNSS, drifters are developed for high-frequency (10 Hz) s ling with position estimates with centimeter accuracy. The drifters are designed with small size and less direct wind drag to follow the subsurface flow that characterizes dispersion in shallow waters. An analysis of position error from stationary observation indicates that the drifter can efficiently resolve motion up to 1 Hz. The result of the field deployments of the drifter in conjunction with acoustic Eulerian devices shows a higher estimate of the drifter streamwise velocities. Single particle statistical analysis of field deployments in a shallow estuarine zone yielded estimates of dispersion coefficients comparable to those of dye tracer studies. The drifters capture the tidal elevation during field studies in a tidal estuary.

Abstract: The flooding of urbanized areas constitutes a major hazard to populations and infrastructure. Flood flows during urban inundations have been studied only recently and the real-life impact of fluid flows on in iduals is not well understood. The stability of in iduals in floodwaters is re-assessed based upon the re-analysis of detailed field measurements during a major flood event. The results emphasized that hydrodynamic instabilities, linked to local topographic effects and debris, constitute major real-world hazards. A comparison between a number of flow conditions deemed unsafe for in iduals, along with guidelines, suggests that many recommendations are over-optimistic and unsafe in real floodwaters and natural disasters. A series of more conservative guidelines is proposed, particularity relevant to flood events.

Abstract: Hydraulic jumps are commonly employed as energy dissipators to guarantee long-term operation of hydraulic structures. A comprehensive and in-depth understanding of their main features is therefore fundamental. In this context, the current study focused on hydraulic jumps with low Froude numbers, i.e. Fr 1 = 2.1 and 2.4, at relatively high Reynolds number: Re ~2 × 10 5 . Experimental tests employed a combination of dual-tip phase-detection probes and ultra-high-speed video camera to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the main air-water flow properties of the hydraulic jump, including surface flow features, void fraction, bubble count rate and interfacial velocities. The current research also focused on the transverse distributions of air-water flow properties, i.e. across the channel width, with the results revealing lower values of void fraction and bubble count rate next to the sidewalls compared to the channel centreline data. Such a spatial variability in the transverse direction questions whether data near the side walls may be truly representative of the behaviour in the bulk of the flow, raising the issue of sidewall effects in image-based techniques. Overall, these findings provide new information to both researchers and practitioners for a better understanding of the physical processes inside the hydraulic jump with low Froude numbers, leading to an optimised design of hydraulic structures. Experimental investigation of air-water flow properties in hydraulic jumps with low Froude numbers Detailed description of the main air-water surface features on the breaking roller Transversal distribution of the air-water flow properties across the channel width and comparison between centreline and sidewall.

Abstract: A tidal bore is a sharp rise in free-surface elevation propagating upstream in an estuarine system at the leading edge of the flood tide. It generates a powerful noise that was sometimes compared to the sounds of a horse cavalcade. Herein the sounds generated by a tidal bore event in the Baie du Mont Saint Michel were carefully recorded. The data showed three distinct periods. These were the incoming tidal bore when the sound litude increased with the approaching bore front, the passage of the tidal bore in front of the microphone where the impacts of the bore on the bank, rocks, or jetty generated powerful noises, and the upstream propagation of the bore when the flood flow motion caused additional loud noises. During the arrival of the tidal bore, the sound levels were less energetic and a lower-pitch sound was noted than during the subsequent record. For the breaking bore process, the analysis of the sound record indicated a dominant frequency around 76–77 Hz. The low-pitch rumble had a frequency comparable to the collective bubble oscillations, suggesting that air entrapment in the bore roller might play a major role in the acoustic signature.

Abstract: Stepped spillways have become a popular method for handling flood releases. The steps significantly increase the rate of energy dissipation taking place on the spillway face and reduce the size of the required downstream energy dissipation basin. The compatibility of stepped spillways with roller compacted concrete and gabion construction techniques results in low additional cost for the spillway. This paper presents a review of recent developments for the design of stepped spillways, provides a discussion of the effects of air entrainment, and presents new calculation methods that take into account the effects of flow aeration on the flow characteristics and the rate of energy dissipation. Key words: stepped spillway, air entrainment, dam, spillway, energy dissipation.

Abstract: Road crossings and culverts may adversely impact the stream network connectivity and fish habitats of the catchment. Research into the passage of small‐body‐mass fish in pipe culverts has been relatively limited, compared to the literature for box culverts. For small‐bodied and juvenile fish species, the excessive barrel velocities are often a major hindrance, because of their weak swimming capabilities. In the present study, some physical testing of low‐velocity‐zones was undertaken in standard pipe culvert. The physical modelling was conducted under controlled flow conditions to test comparatively three designs, aiming to minimise the change in energy losses and to maximise low‐velocity zones and secondary circulation conducive to small‐body‐mass fish passage. In the whole pipe culvert experiment (Model 1), both baffle and longitudinal rail boundary treatments provided low‐velocity zones. The baffles however induced a strongly turbulent flow, associated with substantially larger energy dissipation than the reference smooth boundary pipe culvert. The longitudinal rail boundary treatment produced energy losses comparable to the smooth boundary reference configuration. Both boundary treatments were tested comparatively at near‐full‐scale (Model 2) to quantify the low‐velocity‐zone (LVZ) characteristics. The small longitudinal rail (0.06 m × 0.02 m), installed at 30° from the centreline, induced some flow asymmetry, as well as some low‐velocity‐zones on both sides of the rail. Some strong secondary motion was further observed as the combined effect of the flow asymmetry and singularities of the rail corners. The secondary motion structure was markedly different, and the distributions of the normal turbulent stresses ( v z ′ 2 − v y ′ 2 ) showed key differences between the two boundary treatments, with the sharp corners of the rail contributing to the generation of secondary motion and in turn slow‐velocity regions facilitating the upstream passage of small‐body‐mass fish species and juveniles of larger fish.

Abstract: A dropshaft is a vertical structure connecting two channels with different invert elevations. Four configurations of rectangular dropshafts were investigated systematically to study the effects of outflow direction and pool depth on particle residence times and flow aeration. The best hydraulic design was that with 180° outflow direction and deep pool shaft. For that design, a full-scale study was conducted, the scaling ratio between prototype and model being 3.1:1. Although similar trends were seen in both model and prototype, scale effects were observed in terms of particle residence times and bubble swarm depths. In the prototype, detailed air–water flow measurements were performed in the shaft pool and the mass transfer equation was integrated using measured interfacial areas and particle residence times. The results demonstrate that the air–water mass transfer is the largest at low flow rates (regime R1) because of large residence times and significant interfacial area. Overall the present study provides new understanding of the basic mechanisms of air–water mass transfer in rectangular dropshafts. Key words: dropshaft, mass transfer, aeration, hydraulics.

Abstract: Breaking bores are commonly observed in a number of natural processes, often associated with the presence of a transient mixture of air and water, with intense recirculation, air bubble entrainment, and splashing. Two-phase flow measurements in such highly unsteady flows cannot be based on long-duration measurements and require novel ensemble-statistical approaches based on multiple repetitions. Detailed measurements of air–water flow properties were then conducted in a breaking bore with Fr1 = 2.4 using an array of multiple dual-tip phase-detection probes. Based on an extensive experimental program, inclusive of 2000 tests at a single position and 100 tests at multiple elevations, a detailed sensitivity analysis was conducted on the necessary number of repetitions to obtain physically meaningful and statistically reliable air–water flow properties. The results led to a robust methodology to estimate ensemble-statistical values, including confidence intervals and residual error. In addition, these results provided a detailed characterization of the behavior of air–water flow properties in highly unsteady flows, including void fraction, number of interfaces, and bubble chord time/length. Despite the transient nature, all physical processes showed consistent behaviors with theoretical models and other stationary flows, including hydraulic jumps and plunging jets. Overall, this study provided two-phase flow characteristics that go beyond the limitations imposed by the unsteady nature of the flow, proving thoroughly the importance of large datasets for the estimation of air–water flow properties in highly unsteady flows.

Abstract: The entrainment, breakup, and interplay of air bubbles were observed in a vertical, two-dimensional supported jet at low impact velocities. Ultra-high-speed movies were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The onset velocity of bubble entrainment was between 0.9 and 1.1 m/s. Most bubbles were entrained as detached bubbles from elongated air cavities at the impingement point. Explosion, stretching, and dejection mechanisms were observed for in idual bubble breakup, and the bubble interaction behaviors encompassed bubble rebound, “kiss-and-go,” coalescence and breakup induced by approaching bubble(s). The effects of jet impact velocity on the bubble behaviors were investigated for impact velocities from 1.0 to 1.36 m/s, in the presence of a shear flow environment.

Abstract: Pasty materials encountered in industry and in earth science are intermediate between solids and liquids either in terms of their internal structure (disordered but jammed) or from a mechanical point of view. Our results indicate that the apparent behavior of a particulate system (soils, suspensions, clays, etc.) can range from liquid-like to soil or solid-like depending on the relative importance of the energy supplied to it and its “state of jamming” which evolves in time, and the transition from one state to another may appear either continuous or catastrophic.

Abstract: Circular plunging jets were studied by both void fraction and acoustic techniques. There were two aims: to measure the structure of the jet flow and its regimes as a function of jet speed and free-jet length and to develop and validate the acoustic measurement technique in the developing flow. Void fractions and bubble count rates were measured in the developing shear layer of a large-size plunging jet d1=25 mm. The data compared well with a solution of an advective diffusion equation and showed an increased air entrainment rate with increasing free-jet length for x1/d1⩽12. The acoustic data were processed by a novel technique to extract both bubble count and bubble size data. Three plunging jet flow regimes were noted. Near inception, acoustic pulses are isolated and indicate in idual bubble entrainment as observable visually. Above a characteristic jet velocity, the number of the bubble pulses increases sharply although bubbles are still produced intermittently. At higher velocities, bubble production becomes quasi-continuous. The study suggests that an acoustic technique calibrated through detailed laboratory measurements can provide useful, absolute data in high-void fraction flows. The robust acoustic sensor can then be used in hostile industrial or environmental flows where more delicate instruments are impractical.

Abstract: The suspended sediment concentration is a key element in stream monitoring, although the turbidity and acoustic Doppler backscattering may be suitable surrogate measures. Herein a series of new experiments were conducted in laboratory under controlled conditions using water and mud s les collected in a small subtropical estuary of Eastern Australia. The relationship between suspended sediment concentration and turbidity exhibited a linear relationship, while the relationships between suspended sediment concentration and acoustic backscatter intensity showed a monotonic increase. The calibration curves were affected by both sediment material characteristics and water quality properties, implying that the calibration of an acoustic Doppler system must be performed with the waters and soil materials of the natural system. The results were applied to some field studies in the estuary during which the acoustic Doppler velocimeter was s led continuously at high frequency. The data yielded the instantaneous suspended sediment flux per unit area in the estuarine zone. They showed some significant fluctuations in instantaneous suspended mass flux, with a net upstream-suspended mass flux during flood tide and net downstream sediment flux during ebb tide. For each tidal cycle, the integration of the suspended sediment flux per unit area data with respect of time yielded some net upstream sediment flux in average.

Abstract: While preparation for professional practice is conceived as placeless, it is enacted in place. Consequently, many professionals find themselves working in conditions significantly different than those they were educated in and for. This is especially relevant for new professionals arriving in rural settings after preparation in urban programs, where metrocentric models of orientation to practice are implicitly privileged. The consequent dis‐join between practice and place often results in new professionals feeling ‘out of place’ and questioning their professional competence. It also results in settings outside the metrocentric norm being viewed as less desirable practice contexts. Negative desirability hinders professional recruitment, while feeling out of place and incompetent hinders professional retention both are longstanding issues in rural communities. Recent developments in professional education and practice standards emphasise adaptability to practise in specific contexts. However, ‘context,’ a primary focus to date for rural preparation is presented as a largely static backdrop that needs to be accommodated to engage in the ‘real practice’ one was trained for. Drawing on the spatial turn in social theory, we argue that place both shapes and is shaped by professionals and their practices and as such, must be engaged with deeply and dynamically. This conceptualisation of the relationship between place and practice has critical implications for professional preparation. As interdisciplinary practitioners and researchers working in erse contexts, we examine ‘place’ from a social constructivist perspective as a focal point for professional preparation.

Abstract: In open channel flows, the transition from a rapid to fluvial flow motion is called a hydraulic jump. A related flow motion is a compression wave in a channel, such as a tidal bore or surge. A key feature of hydraulic jumps and breaking bores is the rapid spatial and temporal deformations of the free surface of the roller region, in response to the interactions between entrained air bubbles and turbulent structures. The flow structure in the roller remains a great research challenge due to large quantities of entrained air, bubble–turbulence interactions and the coupling between turbulent properties and free-surface deformations. Breaking bores and hydraulic jumps with a marked roller present a number of similar features that are discussed herein. Recent results have shown that the roller is a highly unsteady turbulent region, with both the roller toe and free surface constantly fluctuating with time and space, although the roller shape is quasi-two-dimensional on average. Downstream of the roller toe, air bubbles and vorticity are diffused in the shear zone at different rates. The double diffusive convection process leads to a complex interplay between instantaneous free-surface deformations, velocity fluctuations and interfacial processes including breakup and coalescence.

Abstract: A tidal bore is a hydrodynamic shock, surging upstream in some shallow-water bays and estuaries during the flood tide under large tidal range. This study investigates experimentally the propagation of tidal bores over a large cylindrical roughness element, representative of damaged bridge pier foundation. In the initially steady flow, the large cylindrical element generated a wake region, with extents comparable to steady flow literature. During the tidal bore propagation, the presence of the element had negligible effect on the free-surface properties, but a significant impact in terms of the instantaneous velocity and Reynolds stresses. This resulted in longer transient recirculation both upstream and downstream of the element and larger maximum velocity recirculation magnitudes, as well as enhanced turbulent stress levels and potential bed erosion around the large element, within two diameters from the element centre. The results showed the potential development of a large scour hole around the cylindrical element.

Abstract: Dams and weirs must be equipped with adequate flood-release facilities for a safe dissipation of the kinetic energy of the flow. With stepped spillway design, it is essential to accurately predict the flow-resistance contribution of the steps. The authors investigate the flow resistance of skimming flows and associated form losses. Recent laboratory experiments were systematically performed with channel slopes ranging from 5.7° up to 55° and the results are compared with existing laboratory and prototype data. The results provide a better understanding of the basic flow patterns and flow-resistance mechanisms and emphasize that form loss is dominant. Simple analytical models provide a reasonable order of magnitude of the pseudo-boundary shear stress and the recirculation cavity ejection frequency. Altogether, more than 38 model studies and four prototype investigations (for a total of more than 700 data points) are reanalysed.Key words: stepped spillway, flow resistance, skimming flow, form drag, physical and analytical modelling.

Abstract: Low-level river crossings can have negative impacts on freshwater ecosystems, including blocking upstream fish passage. In order to restore upstream fish passage in culverts, we developed physically-based design methods to yield cost-effective culvert structures in order to maintain or restore waterway connectivity for a range of small-bodied fish species. New guidelines are proposed for fish-friendly multi-cell box culvert designs based upon two basic concepts: (1) the culvert design is optimised for fish passage for small to medium water discharges, and for flood capacity for larger discharges, and (2) low-velocity zones in the culvert barrel are defined in terms of a percentage of the wetted flow area where the local longitudinal velocity component is less than a characteristic fish speed linked to swimming performances of targeted fish species. This approach is novel and relies upon an accurate physically-based knowledge of the entire velocity field in the barrel, specifically the longitudinal velocity map, because fish tend to target low-velocity zone (LVZ) boundaries.

Abstract: Learning about general practice in a context of linguistic ersity is an understudied area. There may be additional learning needs or unrecognised opportunities in this environment. This study explores the experiences of general practitioners (GPs) and medical students on placement where consultations are conducted in a language other than English (LOTE). We conducted 19 semi-structured interviews with medical students and GP supervisors who consult in LOTE. We explored experiences of learning, and teaching strategies implemented by GP supervisors. Thematic analysis was undertaken. Participants reported that LOTE consultations provided unique learning opportunities, including use of interpreters and development of cross-cultural communication skills. Facilitators to learning included the GP engaging the student in the consultation by interpreting, and patients being open to student participation. Some students described language as a barrier to learning, where they had difficulty in following the consultation. Time required for interpreting limited interaction and learning in GP consultations. We identified ways to navigate the language barrier including the GP acting as interpreter, and students learning key phrases in the consultation language to build rapport. Learning in the linguistically erse General Practice environment can be optimised through an active and collaborative approach between the GP, student, and patients. Our findings highlight specific barriers and facilitators to learning. Our participants identified a variety of techniques, including skills in interpreter use and cross-cultural communication skills which can transcend language barriers, to create valuable opportunities for medical students to learn in this setting. Medical students increasingly experience clinical placements in general practices within erse communities.

Abstract: Fish traps and fish weirs built by Indigenous people in the Barwon‐Darling River system of the Murray Darling Basin (MDB), south‐eastern Australia, are an important component of their traditional social, spiritual and economic systems. The celebrated Brewarrina stone fish traps ( Ngunnhu ) on the Barwon River are the largest and best documented stone fish traps in the Basin. However, there has been minimal research on the many other stone fish traps in this system. This paper focusses on the in‐stream stone fish traps downstream of Brewarrina along the Darling (Baaka) River, some still partly extant, remembered, or documented in historical material. Wooden and earthen bank fish traps and weirs, while not as enduring and archaeologically visible as stone fish traps, were frequently used on the Darling (Baaka) floodplain lakes, sw s and billabongs. Archaeological evidence, traditional cultural knowledge and historical materials are utilised to document the complex social processes and modification of landscapes associated with fish traps and weirs. By demonstrating that Barkandji were active and successful managers of the river and its ecology prior to colonisation, and that much of this cultural knowledge is retained by current generations, the authors make a case for them to renew their custodianship and a decision‐making role in water management.

Abstract: Some basic characteristics of a classic hydraulic jump flow over a pebbled rough bed, as well as on a smooth bed as a reference, are presented in this experimental study. For the experiments, an inflow Froude number Fr 1 from 1.54 to 4.94 and inflow Reynolds number Re 1 from 42 000 to 230 000 were considered. Visual observations and measurements suggested some differences between the formation of a hydraulic jump on rough and smooth bed configurations, including different air entrainment processes, larger vortical structures in the roller length and stronger backward flow in the upper layer. Furthermore, the jump roller and aerated flow lengths were shorter on a pebbled rough bed than on a smooth bed, while the dimensionless advection velocity of large vortices was the same for both bed types. The instantaneous jump toe perimeter showed the largest variation at the largest Fr 1 and was generally larger on rough bed than on smooth bed. Larger oscillations of the free-surface profile were observed on smooth bed, highlighting that roughness resulted in smaller free-surface oscillations, suggesting the higher rate of energy dissipation.

Abstract: When a water jet impinges a pool of water at rest, air bubbles may be entrained and carried away below the pool free surface: this process is called plunging jet entrainment. The study presents new experimental data obtained with a vertical supported jet. Distributions of air concentration and mean air-water velocity, and bubble chord length distributions measured in the developing shear layer are presented. The results indicate that the distributions of void fraction follow closely analytical solution of the diffusion equation. Further, the momentum shear layer and the air bubble diffusion layer do not coincide. Chord length data show a wide range of air bubble sizes and overall the experimental results suggest strong interactions between the entrained air bubbles and the momentum transfer mechanisms.

Abstract: Partially filled pipe flows are commonly observed in urban hydraulics, sewers and road crossings. The occurrence of a compression wave in the confined space may result from flash flooding, transient operation or accidental blockage, inducing explosive conditions. In this study, the propagation of a compression wave was studied in a relatively large laboratory flume of semi-circular cross-section. The unsteady flow properties were recorded to understand how the circular cross-sectional shape impacted the surging water propagation. Both free-surface and velocity data indicated a marked impact of the compression wave passage, with large instantaneous fluctuations comparable to and sometimes larger than observations of compression waves in rectangular channels.

Abstract: Air-water bubbly flows are encountered in many engineering applications. One type of air-water shear flows is the developing flow region of a plunging jet. The mechanisms of air entrainment by plunging liquid jets are discussed in the light of new experimental evidence. Then the air bubble diffusion is analyzed analytically in the near-flow field of both circular and two-dimensional plunging jets. The theoretical developments are compared with existing circular plunging jet data and new experiments performed with a two-dimensional vertical supported jet. The study highlights two mechanisms of air entrainment at the plunge point depending upon the jet impact velocity and results suggest that the dispersion of air bubbles within the shear layer is primarily an advective diffusion process.

Abstract: Hydraulic jumps are induced in hydraulic facilities for the purposes of energy dissipation or flow aeration. Presently there is no means for a simple estimate of void fraction distribution and air entrainment flux, without detailed physical modelling. This paper presents a semi-theoretical model to simulate the void fraction and velocity distributions in hydraulic jumps characterized by partially-developed inflow conditions. Relationships were established between the inflow Froude number, jump roller length and key parameters that determine the full expression of void fraction and velocity profiles. The proposed model enables accurate prediction of void fraction, longitudinal velocity, and air flux using the inflow Froude number. The results indicated considerable air flux contribution of free-surface aeration, in addition to the singular air entrainment at the jump toe, for moderate to large Froude numbers. A Froude number between 8 and 9 tended to achieve highest aeration rate with maximum total air flux in the roller.

Abstract: Air–water flows on stepped spillways were investigated experimentally in the last decades with a focus on steep slope chutes equipped with flat horizontal steps. Detailed air–water flow properties were recorded herein with three stepped geometries down a slope of θ = 8.9° with: flat horizontal steps, pooled steps, and a combination of flat and pooled steps. The data included the distributions of basic air–water flow properties, as well as the energy dissipation and flow resistance data deduced from the air–water flow measurements. The results on the flat slope showed that the pooled stepped design enabled a greater rate of energy dissipation, but the pooled stepped geometries were affected by some flow instabilities and unsteady flow processes for a range of flow rates.

Abstract: A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream in an estuary as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide propagates into a funnel-shaped system. Large tidal bores have a marked breaking roller. The sounds generated by breaking tidal bores were herein investigated in the field (Qiantang River) and in laboratory. The sound pressure record showed two dominant periods, with some similarity with an earlier study [Chanson (2009). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 125(6), 3561–3568]. The two distinct phases were the incoming tidal bore when the sound litude increased with the approaching bore, and the passage of the tidal bore in front of the microphone when loud and powerful noises were heard. The dominant frequency ranged from 57 to 131 Hz in the Qiantang River bore. A comparison between laboratory and prototype tidal bores illustrated both common features and differences. The low pitch sound of the breaking bore had a dominant frequency close to the collective oscillations of bubble clouds, which could be modeled with a bubble cloud model using a transverse dimension of the bore roller. The findings suggest that this model might be over simplistic in the case of a powerful breaking bore, like that of the Qiantang River.

Abstract: A research project is only completed when it has been published and shared with the community. Referees and peer experts play an important role in controlling the research quality. While some new electronic tools provide further means of disseminating some research information, the quality and impact of the works remain linked with some thorough expert-review process and publication in international scientific journals and books unethical publishing standards are not acceptable. The writer argues that the new electronic aids do not replace scholarship or critical thinking, although they have an impact on the working environment of civil engineers.Key words: research publications, quality, impact, peer reviews.

Abstract: Understanding of riverine and estuarine mixing processes remains limited, and predictions are highly sensitive to specific features of natural systems. One reason for this is the very complex variations of hydrodynamic and physio-chemical properties with the tidal phase. This study presents the results of two field works during which a range of flow and chemical parameters were recorded simultaneously at several locations along a small sub-tropical estuary. The studies were conducted in contrasting (wet and dry) conditions. Field measurements indicated that the hydrodynamics and water conductivity were dominated by tidal forcing and, to a lesser extent, by freshwater inputs. There were generally significantly greater differences between longitudinal sites than between vertical depths, although some marked differences were observed between the upper and lower estuarine zones. The comparative results between wet and dry field studies illustrated some marked stratification in wet weather along the whole of the estuary, implying that the surface s les were not representative of the average water column properties. Overall, the complexity of the hydrodynamics and water quality has some impact on water quality modelling of the system.

Abstract: Stepped spillways have been used for about 3500 years. The last few decades have seen the development of new construction materials, design techniques, and applications, for ex le, embankment overtopping protection systems. Although it is commonly acknowledged that free-surface aeration is significant in stepped chutes, experimental data are scarce, often limited to very steep slopes (α ~ 50°). This paper presents an experimental study conducted in a large-size stepped chute (α = 22°, h = 0.1 m, W = 1 m). Observations demonstrate the existence of a transition flow pattern for intermediate flow rates between nappe and skimming flows. Detailed airwater flow measurements were conducted in both transition and skimming flows, immediately downstream of the inception point of free-surface aeration where uniform equilibrium flow conditions were not achieved. In skimming flows, a complete characterization is developed for the distributions of void fraction, bubble count rate, and velocity, and flow resistance data are compared with other studies. Transition flows exhibit significantly different airwater flow properties. They are highly aerated, requiring the design of comparatively high chute sidewalls.Key words: stepped spillway, air entrainment, two-phase flow properties, skimming flow, transition flow.

Abstract: In this study, the problem of surface waves induced by water flow in a flow channel was investigated. The mathematical model based on the potential wave theory was established, and a new analytic solution to the corresponding initial and boundary value problem was proposed. To confirm our analytic solution, the mathematical model was applied to simulate experiments conducted in a flow channel in the laboratory. Using our analytic solution, water surface elevations and flow velocities at certain locations in the channel were compared with experimental results. Comparisons between our analytic solution and experimental results confirmed our theory that litudes and propagating phases are in very close agreement. Our analytic solution can be used to calculate variations in pressure and velocity along the water depth, which are expensive to calibrate and obtain in experiments. Although our analytic solution was established based on linear theory, it is very practical for applications studying the basic properties of surface elevation, velocity, and pressure of the flow field induced by water current both in space and time.

Abstract: Air bubble entrainment at plunging jet takes place when the jet impact velocity exceeds a critical velocity function of the inflow conditions. This study investigates scale effects affecting air entrainment and bubble dispersion at vertical circular plunging jets. Three scale models were used and detailed air-water measurements were performed systematically for identical Froude numbers. The results highlight significant scale effects when We1 & 1E+3 or V1/ur & 10. Bubble chord times were also measured and presented in terms of pseudo-bubble chord length which was found to overestimate real bubble chords by 10 to 30%. The data show pseudo-bubble chord sizes ranging from less than 0.5 mm to more than 10 mm. The average pseudo-chord sizes were between 5 and 7 mm.

Abstract: The stepped spillway design is characterized by an increase in the rate of energy dissipation on the chute associated with a reduction of the size of the downstream energy dissipation system. This study presents a thorough investigation of the air–water flow properties in skimming flows with a focus on the turbulent characteristics. New measurements were conducted in a large-size facility (θ = 22° step height, h = 0.1 m) with several phase-detection intrusive probes. Correlation analyses were applied to estimate the integral turbulent length and time scales. The skimming flow properties presented some basic characteristics that were qualitatively and quantitatively in agreement with previous air–water flow measurements in skimming flows. Present measurements showed some relatively good correlation between turbulence intensities T u and turbulent length and time scales. These measurements also illustrated large turbulence levels and large turbulent time and length scales in the intermediate region between the spray and bubbly flow regions.
