Ice Jam

This paper describes the application of the characteristic-dissipative-Galerkin method to steady and unsteady open channel flow problems. The robust performance of this new finite element scheme is demonstrated in modeling the propagation of ice jam release surges over a 500 km reach of the Hay River in Alberta and Northwest Territories. This demonstration includes the automatic determination of steady flow profiles through supercritical–subcritical transitions, establishing the initial conditions for the unsteady flow analyses. The ice jam releases create a dambreak type of problem which begins as a very dynamic situation then develops into an essentially kinematic wave problem as the disturbance propagated downstream. The characteristic-dissipative-Galerkin scheme provided stable solutions not only for the extremes of dynamic and kinematic wave conditions, but also through the transition between the two. Key words: open channel flow, finite element method, dam break, surge propagation.

Discharge Orifice

This paper provides design examples and summarizes a study on the determination of multiple free discharge orifice coefficients in a circular walled manifold for a variety of shapes and area projections. A simplified design procedure is presented which allows engineers to accurately maintain a given pressure and flow at the entrance to the sparger. The design provides for uniform flow across the cooling tower basin, and prevents an increase in back pressure or open channel flow within the sparger, minimizing the effect on upstream performance.
