Flow properties along the chute Grandezas do escoamento ao longo do descarregador Some approaches Potential (irrotational) flow from the upstream end the simplest (conservative) estimate. Gradually varied flow from the upstream end. Curves in Chow (1959) on the basis of experience, theoretical analysis and a limited amount of experimental information obtained from prototype tests. Development of the boundary layer from the upstream end until it reaches the free-surface, and gradually varied air-water flow calculations further downstream. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling (Flow 3D, Open Foam, SPH,.). 7 Z (ft) Flow properties along the chute Grandezas do escoamento ao longo do descarregador Velocity at the toe of steeply sloping spillways under various heads, falls and slopes (1V:0.8H ~ 51 ; 1V:0.6H ~ 59 ) Figure: In Chow (1959) U (ft s -1 ) 8 4

Wood (1991), Free surface air entrainment on spillways, in Air entrainment in free-surface flows, IAHR Hydraulic Structures Design Manual, Ed. I. R. Wood, A.A: Balmea, Rotterdam. 11 Basic definitions The boundary layer thicness, δ, is the distance across a boundary layer from the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'free stream' velocity, Vmax. This distance is defined normal to the wall, and the point where the flow velocity is essentially that of the free stream is customarily defined as the point where: V = 0.99 Vmax. The displacement thicness, δd, is the distance by which a surface would have to be moved in the direction perpendicular to its normal vector away from the reference plane in an inviscid fluid stream of velocity Vmax to give the same flow rate as occurs between the surface and the reference plane in a real fluid. The Energy thicness, δe, is defined as the thicness of an imaginary layer in free stream flow which has energy equal to the loss of energy caused to actual mass flowing inside the boundary layer. 12 6
