Análisis experimental del funcionamiento de paneles sumergidos colocados en serie para determinar el efecto producido en el transporte de sedimentos.

Abstract

The submerged vanes are hydraulic structures that modify the behavior of the flow, generating a redistribution of velocities and sediment transport, by the presence of vortices. The objective of this project was analysis the performance of submerged vanes placed in series on a bed of sand inside the hydrodynamic channel located in the facilities of the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios en Recursos Hídricos (CHIERI) at the Escuela Politécnica Nacional. For this purpose, the vanes were designed complying with specific parametric and considering the dimensions of the channel. In addition, a record of instantaneous velocities downstream was made with the help of ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter) equipment, which after a calculation process allowed the turbulence analysis to be carried out.
