Sediment management with submerged vanes. II: Applications
A. Jacob Odgaard,Yalin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The theory of submerged vanes described in the companion paper is tested with laboratory and field data as mentioned in this paper, and they suggest that the vane technique is a viable alternative to traditional techniques.
Journal Article
Sediment Management with Submerged Vanes
A. Jacob Odgaard,Yalin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Submerged vanes as discussed by the authors are small river training structures used for protection of streambanks against erosion and for amelioration of shoaling problems in navigation channels, at water intakes, in bridge crossings, and at diversions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment control at water intakes
TL;DR: Submerged vanes are shown to be effective in preventing bed load transport from entering water intakes as mentioned in this paper, by generating a secondary circulation in the flow, vanes change the magnitude and direction of the bed-shear stresses and cause a redistribution of the flow and sediment transport in the area affected by the vanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow control with vorticity
Yalin Wang,A. Jacob Odgaard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how small, submerged vortex generators can be used for adjusting the flow pattern in open-channel flows, where a single vane, a vane pair, and several vanes arranged in arrays along one side of the channel.
Journal Article
Scour Prevention at Bridge Piers
A. Jacob Odgaard,Yalin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described experiments in which attempts were made to eliminate local scour at bridge piers using submerged vanes and pier collar, which is believed to contribute to the generation of scour.
