Article Effective intake for critical submergence in the case of more than one intake(2017) Taştan, Kerem; Yıldırım, NevzatThe available potential flow solution methods over-estimate the number of effective intake for the prediction of critical submergence in the case of multiple intakes of identical level without partition walls located on the longitudinal line of the canal, because they cannot establish an upper limiting value for the distance between the centers of the intakes. To address this, tests were conducted on dual intakes of identical level located on the longitudinal line of the canal in a cross-flow. In practice, by means of the chart obtained from the experimental results, one can determine the upper limiting value of the distance between the centers of dual intakes beyond which the effect of the intake on the critical submergence of the other intake is negligible. Such an intake is considered a non-effective intake and is disregarded in the prediction of critical submergence. In addition, the effective intake relating to multiple intakes sited in a still-water reservoir is explained.Article Flow structure and fish passage performance of a brush-type fish way: a field study in the yidere River, Turkey(Csiro Publishing, 2019) Küçükali, Serhat; Verep, Bülent; Alp, Ahmet; Turan, Davut; Mutlu, Tanju; Kaya, Cüneyt; Yıldırım, Yasin; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur; Özelçi, DursunThe fish passage performance and flow structure of a brush fish pass were investigated at the ncirli Small Hydropower Plant on the yidere River, located in the East Black Sea region of Turkey. The spatial distributions of velocity vectors, power velocity, Froude number and turbulent kinetic energy are presented. The flow is quasi-uniform and subcritical, which provides different migration corridors with favourable hydraulic conditions; importantly for the fish, these corridors continue through the complete fish pass. The flow-bristle interaction creates a reduced velocity and low-turbulence resting zones. In addition, the passage efficiency of the brush fish pass was assessed using passive integrated transponder telemetry. The results clearly showed that upstream passage efficiency differs between fish species: Salmo coruhensis performed better than Alburnoides fasciatus on the same fish passage. The passage efficiency for the target fish species S. coruhensis was calculated to be 82.4%. The data revealed that the brush fish passage provides passage for small-bodied fish (total body length <15 cm) in a high-gradient channel with a slope of 10%. The monitoring data revealed that bristles as flexible hydraulic elements are beneficial for migrating fish.
