Also, these formulas can not be used for the air-entraining vortices. In the present study, the available formulas involving unknown parameters were further improved. Findings are as follows. 1) the magnitudes of the unknown parameters vary across the height of the profile of the air-core vortex and they are the function of the ratio of the height of the air-core vortex to the submergence of the intake; 2) simple charts and formulas were obtained for the variations of the unknown parameters for the air-core vortices with and without an intake; 3) in lieu of the local viscous-core radius, the radius at the half-depth of the profile of the air-core vortex was used; 4) no laborious work of measurements are needed to determine the local viscous-core radii along the profile of the vortex; and 5) the improved formulas are in good agreement with available test data for the profiles of both the non-air-entraining and the air-entraining vortices with or without a vertically flowing downward intake.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.
