Drag reduction in skimming flow on stepped spillways by aeration [PDF]
In skimming flows on stepped spillway, flow resistance is predominantly a form drag process. Cavity recirculation and air entrainment are intense. The interactions between entrained air bubbles and mixing layers may cause some reduction in flow resistance.

Boulder concentration effects on sediment transport and deposition [PDF]
Boulders in riverbeds significantly influence sediment transport and deposition by altering local flow patterns. This study employs coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Method (CFD–DEM) simulations to examine how boulder concentration ...

Microsphere skimming in the porcine coronary arteries: Implications for flow quantification
Particle skimming is a phenomenon where particles suspended in fluid flowing through vessels distribute disproportionately to bulk fluid volume at junctions. Microspheres are considered a gold standard of intra-organ perfusion measurements and are used widely in studies of flow distribution and quantification.

Determination of Discharge Flow in Unit Width for the Distinction of Nappe and Skimming Flow in Stepped Spillway Using Flow 3d (Case Study: Siah Bishe Dam) [PDF]
One of the major challenges in dam engineering is the design of the discharge flow of the stepped spillway. The rate of energy dissipation in downstream currents is higher than that of skimming currents.

Experimental Study of the Effect of the Location of a Continuous Porous Obstacle on the Bottom of a Stepped Spillway on the Characteristics of the Flow [PDF]
Introduction: In the present study, we investigated the effect of the location and height of a three-dimensional porous obstacle (with porosity in all three dimensions) which is located on the bottom of the steps in the width of the flume and the number ...

Effects of Converging Sidewalls on Skimming Flow over Converging Stepped Spillway
A numerical study is conducted for converging stepped spillways with various spillway slopes, sidewall convergence and flow discharges to understand the influences of converging sidewalls on skimming flows.

Experimental Study of Flow Regimes of Stepped Weir
• Depending on the discharge and the stepped weir's dimensions, flow over a stepped weir can be primarily divided into three different flow regimes: nappe, transition, and skimming. The different properties for each flow regime make the decision of the

Flow resistance in skimming flow: A critical review [PDF]
During very large rainfall events, 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 predict accurately the flow resistance associated with the steps.

Numerical study of energy dissipation and block barriers in stepped spillways
In this research, the accuracy of the Flow-3D numerical model in the flow simulation in a stepped spillway was probed using data obtained from the physical model. In addition, the effects of block barriers on the energy dissipation rate were investigated.
