  2. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    There are also man-made hydraulic jumps created by devices like weirs or sluice gates. In general, a hydraulic jump may be used to dissipate energy, to mix chemicals, or to act as an aeration device. [1] [2] To produce equations describing the jump, since there is an unknown energy loss, there is a need to apply conservation of momentum. [3]

  3. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    Expanding the derivatives in the above using the product rule, the non-conservative form of the shallow-water equations is obtained.Since velocities are not subject to a fundamental conservation equation, the non-conservative forms do not hold across a shock or hydraulic jump.

  4. Weir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weir

    A polynomial weir is a weir that has a geometry defined by a polynomial equation of any order n. [11] In practice, most weirs are low-order polynomial weirs. The standard rectangular weir is, for example, a polynomial weir of order zero. The triangular (V-notch) and trapezoidal weirs are of order one. High-order polynomial weirs are providing ...

  5. Rectangular potential barrier - Wikipedia

    The Schrödinger equation may then be reduced to the case considered here by an ansatz for the wave function of the type: (,,) = (,). For another, related model of a barrier, see Delta potential barrier (QM) , which can be regarded as a special case of the finite potential barrier.

  6. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    It uses a combination of the energy, momentum, and continuity equations to determine water depth with a given a friction slope (), channel slope (), channel geometry, and also a given flow rate. In practice, this technique is widely used through the computer program HEC-RAS , developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering ...

  7. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    These final two equations are very similar to the Q = CH a n equations that are used for Parshall flumes. In fact, when looking at the flume tables, n has a value equal to or slightly greater than 1.5, while the value of C is larger than (3.088 b 2 ) but still in a rough estimation.

  8. Centrifugal extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_extractor

    As the liquids enter the central opening of the rotor, they are accelerated toward the wall. The mixed phases are rapidly accelerated to rotor speed and separation begins as the liquids are displaced upward. A system of weirs at the top of the rotor allow each phase to exit the rotor where it lands in a collector ring and exits the stage.

  9. Sedimentation (water treatment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation_(water...

    In an ideal rectangular sedimentation tank, in the settling zone, the critical particle enters at the top of the settling zone, and the settle velocity would be the smallest value to reach the sludge zone, and at the end of outlet zone, the velocity component of this critical particle are the settling velocity in vertical direction (v s) and in ...
