45 Design Example: Site Selection Bend Properties: r c = 578 Channel Top Width = Channel ength = 1090 r c /TW = 3.07 Bend Type Top Width Radius of Curvature Relative Curvature Rc (ft) (ft) dimensionless

46 Design Example: Design Channel Design Channel Properties: Base Width = 80 Design Top Width = Side Slope = 3:1 (H:V) Design Flow = 6000 cfs n = Bed Slope = Q = n AR 2 3 S 1 2 Flow depth = 9.24 ft Q = VA Velocity = 6.0 ft/sec

47 Design Example: Baseline Conditions Estimated Centerline Maximum baseline velocity = 6.0 ft/sec Estimated Outer Bank Maximum baseline velocity = (1.1)*(6.0 ft/s) = 6.62 ft/sec From Sediment Transport Analysis a 60 % reduction of baseline conditions is desired Desired Outer Bank Velocity = 2.65 ft/sec MVR out = MaxV MaxV out CenterBase = =.40

48 Design Example: Preliminary Weir Design Weir Design depends upon design Top Width Start with 3 primary weir variables: Weir ength, Angle, and Spacing Keep two variables constant, change the third to achieve desired MVR results

50 Design Example: Preliminary Weir Design MVR out = arc proj, w A A w c proj, cw cw 2.35 Solving for arc length yields a value of ft A Spacing Ratio of 5.7 results (within tested limits)

51 Design Example: Preliminary Weir Design 0 500

52 Design Example: Velocities along Other Axes MVR in = proj, cw cw arc proj, w A A w c MVR = In MaxV MaxV In CenterBase Solving results in MVR in = 1.32 Solving results in a Maximum predicted inner bank velocity of 7.89 ft/sec Is this acceptable?

53 Design Example: Velocities along Other Axes MVR center = arc proj, w proj, cw cw A A w c MVR = Center MaxV MaxV Center CenterBase Solving results in MVR center = 1.31 Solving results in a Maximum predicted center channel velocity of 7.84 = ft/sec Is this acceptable?
