Head-discharge relationship of flumes: Energy loss versus boundary layer

Matthieu Dufresne; José Vazquez

Volume 1, Issue 2 , June 2014, , Pages 57-60

Abstract
  Long-throated flumes are measurement structures often used in water and wastewater systems to determine the flow discharge. The head-discharge relationship of long-throated flumes is traditionally determined following the critical flow theory and the boundary layer concept. After a review of the traditional ...  Read More

Hydraulic influence of geometrical defects in Venturi flumes: shall we destroy and rebuild?

Matthieu Dufresne; Jose Vazquez

Volume 1, Issue 1 , March 2014, , Pages 35-39

Abstract
  Venturi flumes are measurement structures commonly used in water systems to measure the flow discharge. Some of them are not well installed or present some geometrical defects. The objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic influence of a number of typical wrong installations and geometrical ...  Read More
