Equations and methodologies of inlet drainage system discharge coefficients: A review

open access: yesOpen Engineering
Accurate determination of grate inlet discharge coefficients is crucial in reducing modeling uncertainties and mitigating urban flooding hazards. This review critically examines the methods, equations, and recommendations for determining the weir/orifice

Effect of Flow Splitters on Energy Loss in C-Type Piano Key Weirs

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Sustainable Development
Piano key weirs (PKWs) are a new type of labyrinth weirs. They have a longer crest length within a limited width and, unlike linear weirs, ultimately have a higher discharge coefficient. The higher energy loss in PKWs can reduce scour.

Lessons Learnt From Long‐Term Monitoring of River Restoration in an English Chalk Stream

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River restoration can be difficult to evaluate due to insufficient monitoring over timescales too short to adequately capture physical and ecological response. To better understand restoration outcomes, this study quantified changes in physical habitat (depth, velocity, substrate composition) and macroinvertebrates at two restoration projects ...

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...

Riverine Migration Success of Salmonid Smolts Following Their Entrainment in a Hydropower Off‐Channel Diversion in an Upland River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonid fishes typically express anadromy. During their juvenile riverine emigration, their downstream movements can be inhibited by hydropower schemes that entrain fish in their intakes. Here, the riverine migration success of smolts of brown trout Salmo trutta (“trout smolt”) and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts (“salmon smolt”) was ...

The Free Overfall in Circular Sections with Different Flat Base in Supercritical and Subcritical Flow Regimes

open access: yesمجله آب و خاک, 2017
Introduction: A free overfall offers a simple device for flow discharge measuring by a single measurement of depth at the end of the channel yb which is known as the end depth or brink depth.

Assessing Stage-Discharge Relationships for Circular Overflow Structure

open access: yes, 2018
Circular overflow structures are used in irrigation and drainage networks as water measuring structures. Different approaches can be found in the literature to formulate the stage-discharge relationship of the circular weir.

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Simulation of Discharge Coefficient of Sharp-Crested Circular Weirs Using Hybrid ANFIS-Firefly Model

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2020
In this study, the discharge coefficient of sharp-crested weirs located on circular channels was modeled using the ANFIS and ANFIS-Firefly (ANFIS-FA) algorithm.

From snapshots to continuous estimates: Augmenting citizen science with computer vision for fish monitoring

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents an end‐to‐end computer‐vision pipeline for monitoring fish migration using underwater video. We integrate field camera deployment, annotation, model training and automated in‐season counting to generate continuous, high‐resolution data on river herring spawning migration.
