3. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AND MACROSCOPIC STRUCTURE OF THE

AIR-WATER FLOW

3.1 Presentation

The basic flow regimes were observed in a series of preliminary experiments with discharges ranging from 0.013 to 0.136 m3/s. Visual observations were complemented by photographic information. All

data are summarized in Table 3-1 where dcrest is the flow depth measured above the weir crest, H1 is the

upstream total head measured above the weir crest, qw is the water discharge per unit width, dc is the

critical flow depth and h is the step height. dcrest

Table 3-1 Summary of flow regime observations

For small flow rates (dc/h < 0.5), the waters flowed as a succession of free-falling jets that was typical

of a nappe regime (Figure 3.1A). For some intermediate discharges (0.5 < dc/h < 0.95), a transition

flow regime was observed. The flow was very chaotic: it was characterized by strong splashing and by many droplets’ ejections downstream of the inception point (Figure 3.1B). For larger flow rates (dc/h >

0.95), the waters skimmed above the pseudo-bottom formed by the steps edges. The skimming flows were characterised by strong cavity recirculation with three-dimensional vertical patterns (Figure 3.1C).

The location of the inception point of free-surface aeration was found by visual observations and it is defined as the place where free surface became white (Figure 3.2). Its location was recorded for all discharges (Table 3-1, Figure 3-3). In Figure 3.3, the data are presented as LI/ks as function of F*,

where LI is the streamwise distance from step edge one and ks is the step cavity height normal to the

Five discharges were selected to investigate the air-water flow properties. For the flow rates dc/h=1.0,

dc/h=1.33 and dc/h=1.57 a single-tip conductivity probe was used. For two intermediate discharges

(dc/h=1.15 and for dc/h=1.45), two single-tip conductivity probes were utilized. The probe sensors

were located at the same longitudinal and normal location x and y respectively, but they were separated by a known transverse distance z. For these two discharges two different double-tip probes were used to investigate the flow in longitudinal direction. Table 3-2 summarises the experimental flow conditions.

3.2 Flow properties

Several parameters were used to characterise the aerated flow properties: air concentration or void fraction, bubble count rate, velocity, turbulence intensity.

3.2.1 Void fraction and bubble count rate distributions

Both single-tip and double-tip conductivity probes provided void fraction data. Measurements were conducted at step edges For different flow rates the profiles showed the same pattern. This is shown in Figures 3.1. The data are presented in dimensionless terms: the void fraction as function of y/Y90

where y is the distance from the pseudo-bottom and Y90 is the characteristic depth where the air

concentration is 90% calculated by linear interpolation.

All discharges were characterized by high level of air entrainment and bubble counts. This was observed with the bubble count rate distributions. The bubble count rate (F) is defined as the number of bubbles/droplets per second. It is presented with F·dc/Vc as a function of y/Y90 where dc is the

critical flow depth and Vc is the critical velocity (Figure 3.6).

The relationship between the bubble count rate and void fraction tended to be parabolic. For all discharges the data were fitted by a parabolic law (CHANSON 1997, International Journal of Multiphase Flow):

where:

Fmax is the maximum bubble count rate in the cross section

Eq. (3-6) is shown in Figure 3.7.

For all discharges, the data showed that the bubble count rate reached its maximum for values of void fraction between 0.4 and 0.5 (Figure 3.7, Table 3-2). Table 3-2 summarises the flow properties at the locations y=ymax where F=Fmax. Fmax is presented in dimensionless terms, Fmax·dc/Vc, as a function of

x/dc in Figure 3.8. Fmax·dc/Vc is fairly constant for the lowest discharge (dc/h=1.0) but it is increasing

for the other flow rates. For these discharges, Fmax·dc/Vc is directly proportional to x/dc and the greater

is the flow rate, the steeper is the increase.

3.2.2 Interfacial velocity and turbulence intensity distributions

Air-water interfacial velocities were recorded for three flow rates (Table 3-2). The data were measured with a double-tip conductivity probe that provides air-water flow velocity V and turbulence, in addition to the void fraction C, the bubble count rate F and the chord length of bubbles.

For all flow rates the velocity distributions had the same patterns. The velocity profiles compared well with a power-law function for y/Y90 < 1. For greater values of y/Y90 the velocity distributions tended

to be quasi-uniform. That is:

(3-8) where V90 is the characteristic air-water velocity at y=Y90 and N was about 10 for the present study.

Eq. (3-7) and (3-8) are shown in Figure 3.9.

The quasi-uniform profile of the velocity distribution for y/Y90 ≥1 is clearly visible in Figure 3.9. This

is confirmed by the values of V90 measured at each step edges for dc/h=1.33. V90/Vc as a function of

x/dc tends to remain constant (Figure 3.10). In the upper flow region (y=Y90), the flow structure

consisted predominantly of individual water droplets and packets surrounded by air. The present finding tended to suggest that most droplets were in a free-fall trajectory.

Experimental results included further the turbulence intensity Tu=u’/V where u’ is the root mean square of longitudinal component of turbulent velocity and V is the velocity. Tu could provide some information on the turbulence level in the flow. In Figure 3.11, Tu is shown as a function of y/Y90. The

(12)

similar trend to the bubble count rate in relation to y/Y90 (Figure 3.12). It is believed that high levels of

turbulence extending from y=0 to y=Y90 were caused by the strong aeration. Therefore turbulence

intensity distribution is strongly related to the bubble count rate distribution.

3.2.3 Flow resistance

Skimming flows over stepped chute are characterized by significant form losses. Recirculating vortices develop between the main stream and the steps corners. Form drag and cavity recirculation are predominant and the form losses cannot be modelled by a Gauckler-Manning or Darcy-Weisbach formula. This is because two important hypotheses were neglected: the flow is not one-dimensional, it is not gradually varied. Nevertheless this study presents the flow resistance data in terms of an equivalent Darcy factor f because is a dimensionless shear stress that derives from the momentum equation.

In uniform equilibrium flows, the momentum principle states that the boundary friction force equals the gravity force component in the flow direction (HENDERSON 1966, CHANSON 2001, 2004). It yields:

θ is the angle between the pseudo-bottom formed by the step edges and the horizontal.

In dimensionless terms and for a wide channel, Equation (3-10) becomes:

Figure 3.15 – Equivalent Darcy friction factor in air-water skimming flow and Eq. (3-13).

The values of the friction factor for stepped chutes are much greater than the values achieved on smooth concrete chute which typically are f=0.01 to f=0.03 (e.g. HENDERSON 1966, CHANSON 2004). Greater values of friction factor mean larger energy dissipation taking place along a stepped chute compared with a smooth chute.

The present data are consistent with the previous studies conducted for stepped chute with same step height (h=0.10[m], θ=22°) and similar discharges (Table 3.5).

CHANSON et al. (2002) investigated the flow resistance in skimming flow based upon experiments with channel slopes ranging from 5.7° to 55°. The data were compared with a reanalysis of several past studies where the slopes were between 15.9° and 59°, h > 0.020 m and Re>105. The stepped

chutes were classified by the slopes: flat chutes (θ < 20° ) and steep chutes (θ > 20°). On steep chutes the friction factor was ranging from 0.105 up to 0.30. Present experimental results achieved the same range.
